Ok, that sounds good. Another question... As a financially strapped FO that cannot afford a crash pad, which base (DTW, MSP, MEM) has a better ops facility to 'live' in as a reserve FO?
Not sure if this will get some flame, but when I was at Comair, our CVG ops 'trailer' had 'dark' rooms that you could sleep in and showers... many guys lived in ops during reserve so I am just trying to compare.
