I’m sure I could dig these answers up but I am not APC savvy from my phone. Apologize in advance.

Coming out of wide bodies elsewhere. While I love WB flying, being domestic and driving to work might work best for my family. Commuting means a 50 minute drive to the nearest airport, time sat waiting and stressing, and then a minimum of a 45 min flight to a base, but I can get anywhere pretty easily. I’m 2 hours on the nose from the parking lot at MCO…further for TPA. I have somewhere in TPA I could hang out and somewhere at a midpoint to MCO if need be but would prefer to be at home ready to go if I’m sitting on reserve. Is this doable under the new contract? Any further info on how they are going to handle the TPA co-base thing? If it’s the same time requirement as getting to MCO it severely limits the number of pilots that would still be interested, wouldn’t it?

Now that MCO has been going for a few months, what are the trips looking like? Do some end up back in MCO for overnights mid trip? Not that I’d try to go home, but the fam could come over and spend the day at the theme parks. How about destinations? A lot of EWR/IAH/ORD/IAD shuttling back and forth or is there some Caribbean and some variety in there?

Much appreciated. Your cabin crews and flight crews I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with have been top notch and pleasant whether I’m in uniform or not.
