Even in bases with low commuters no one wants to constantly report at 6AM and release at 11PM but that's how the "optimizer" (bonus generator) drives 1 minute of credit out as its prime directive.

Also, the union sent out a Rotation Construction Committee (RCC) Survey on August 30. Don't forget to fill it out.

5 days for OCT MSP 7ER, and they are almost all combined dom and int. 1 + 2 days are 6% of FO hours combined. 64% of captain hours is 5 days+ and 73% of FO hours is 5 days+
I thought this was a non-commuter base.

Good luck building a line out of anything but long trips, #noweekends4U
