Trips are assigned by 4 PM. Last AA flight right not is 1:50 PM. First flight in the morning doesn't arrive until 11:30. That's DOA for a commuter on reserve.
So trips are required to be assigned prior to 4pm where the base is? (3pm mdw time). Is that typically when they assign it, or is that just the last chance to assign something? When would a typical assignment be given, and what is the typical callout on it?
