So if you are NOT home based....and I think only CA are...what are the schedules like for an FO? Are they commutable?

theres CAs in the hard bases, not just home base. Typically most trips in those bases start in the morning forcing you to come in the night before. For a while they were doing 18on 12 off lines, not sure if they’re still doing it.

Not really catching how that works? Is it an easy explanation, I'm sure others have a similar question.
I know from being home based with my airline that I'll never commute again. So, if not being able to get home based isn't right out of the gate, that takes iAero off many people's list.
