I see that after checking out in the CRJ, I'll need a type rating in the bid and scheduling system. If I'm based out of MKE, is it then possible to occasionally end my duty time at ORD or IAD with this creative trading of which you speak? Either one offers a much better commute home.

I can still remember when I used to be able to drop a last turn or leg in a domicile so I could get home, but it seems like a faint memory these days. We will need to be much more fat on staffing before drops and swaps can be relied on for commutability. |

That is precisely why I'm asking these questions up front. |

What’s this “drop” thing you speak of? It sounds useful. Did they go extinct along with this mythical “reserve” pilot I keep hearing about?

That is precisely why I'm asking these questions up front. airlinepilot.life has some pretty good discussions on general pilot schedule questions and might be a good resource. |
