Options Out of Base
So let’s say I moved to ATL, but am based in NYC. While waiting on the next AE I want to pick up some extra flying, but being NYC based it’s very inconvenient. Can I use the ATL swap board to pickup flights while NYC based? I’m sure other options are OOBWS and best of all OOBGS.

No swap board. Best option is to clear schedule and pick up out of ATL. Get proficient enough at it you might end up staying in NYC to fly a better schedule in ATL vs being based there. I’m NYC based, live in ATL and fly 80% of my trips OOBWS from ATL. Read “Optimize Your Schedule” from the Union on your EFB. All the “Credit Surfing” and dropping trips tips and tricks are in there.

Some folks genuinely enjoy doing that stuff. I’m not knocking it, there’s something for everybody, but I just like the easy like of bid and swap a little for better trips, not playing games to clear all. Just me.
