At CAL, there are open trip trades, mutual trades, out of base trades, pick ups, drops and even a few more choices. Sounds good, but in reality a pilot can expect to fly the line that PBS gave them with no chance of improvement. The problem is the pilots are legally timed out, or there are no reserves (the Company has total say over minimum reserve coverage and changes it from day to day, even hour to hour).

It’s like being a tiger at a salad bar…lots of choices though.
