It’s funny because in Boston guys my seniority can’t even touch reserve, they get lines by default.

It depends on your seniority. I’ve been here since Nov and a typical trip for me is a 1-2-2-3 or 3-2-2-1 in legs per day. I get most weekends off and all of my trips are commutable to/from DTW on mainline flights meaning I can book the jumpseat 8 days out. I usually do four 4-days per month at about 21 hours each. I avoid the NE shuttle flying like the plague so most of my days consist of a IAH, MCI, JAX, or ATL overnight or turn with an occasional PVD, PWM, BTV overnight. Most overnights are 15-18 hours.

There used to be but the last month or so they’ve disappeared likely due to ACD implementation. The few that we have are mostly shuttle flying. IIRC, almost 90% of our flying for Oct are 4-day trips.

How is life for LC and SC on the 190? If I could sit either at home (90 min away) that would be a sweet deal. - thx for the info so far

SC doesn’t have a minimum report time. The only requirement is a reasonable time via ground transportation. However, the unwritten rule is 3 hours so you’d be perfectly fine living 90 mins away. LC is a 12 hour minimum callout though you typically get more than that. Living 90 mins from base is huge and will make for a great QOL.
