Commuters! I know that, like myself, you have often cancelled a DH that was the last leg of a trip because it was easier and quicker to find your way home from where you were rather than going back to LA. Sooooo what about a trip that STARTS with a DH early in the morning from LA to SLC? Has anyone worked it out to meet the trip where it actually starts?(check in and such) Day one of my trip starts mid day in SLC.... It would be nice to commute there Saturday morning instead of having to use half a day off to get to LA friday night and then use a commuter hotel.

What ya think?

If ur a line holder the min floor is 75 hrs. But when we are short staffed they raise it to 85. Means u typically get a 95hr line with min, 11, days off. It’s no fun!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the name of the game.

And for newbies, it means you lose Senior FOs to upgrade and your own seniority goes up. This is due in large part to the hiring freeze two years ago and likely will only be beneficial to newbie FOs.

It is if you live in base. If your a commuter and get non computable trips, then ur 11 days off has now just dropped to about 7.
