It’s been awhile since I’ve done it but, yes, I think that’s how you do it. The problem comes when you have a PR day at the end of PB days. That pretty much makes it darn near impossible to move PB days.

I would almost beg the negotiating committee to fix the ridiculous manner reserve pilots are managed with respect to being able to figure out EXACTLY where you are in the probability of being utilized. The bucket, silo, days available, whatever ouija board is insane. Why not a very simple to see a rolling list from the number 1 guy to the number 35 guy. I don't mind the commute, but whenever you call crew scheduling to try and reasonably discern probability of utilization, it seems like there is never a clear answer, it's always a long "weeelllll it just depends how you look at it." Even at my podunct old regional you knew with reasonable clarity where you were. The time, energy and expense involved, especially in Commuting to NYC can be daunting at times. it would be an awesome QOL improvement to know with some assurance you have a high or very low probability of utilization. A call out system in which commuters might be able to use the 12hr call out a little more to their advantage would be great. It would take a big brained individual to figure it out, but it would be nice. Rant out

It says something when even a penny pinching operation like a regional can get it right.
