Elvis,
Been commuting from DFW-ATL since returning from furlough in 2007....it can be done. Not many numbers separate us. It can be interesting but most of the time you just have to have a pair of these...
Whenever my wife says its OK....and she gets them off her closet shelf, and I have done the dishes, folded the clothes, and DVR'd HGTV for her....

FtB;
What a pilot is doing is there you just have to look closely. Look at what time they started LC. If it is not an even hour, they are probably coming off a trip or SC. It will also show if they were on SC the previous day. Perfect? No, but better than what we had.

Not long ago I was way way down on the list and they called and gave me a trip. I kept the scheduler on the phone and we went through everyone's schedule.
The scheduler was actually very accommodating and while I caught 1 or 2 pilots that could've done it, it dawned on me that... sigh... a bird in the hand is better than sticking your hand in someones bush... or whatever that saying is.
So I said, thanks, I'll be there in 13 hours!
However, short call palooza is ON! And I don't think it'll ever be OFF! I mean when they need to assign 14 SCs a day and only have 17 guys to do it with, it gets kind of ugly. Luckily, they'll have more SCs to give out.
The idea that you won't be senior enough to hold reserve will last about 1 month.

Wow, look at the cost savings analysts expect from the switch to 717's from 50-seaters. I think this exceeds the DALPA forecast in savings.
Delta to Add 88 Boeing 717 Fleet - Yahoo! Finance
Up to $750M in cost savings in 2013 alone.
