Don't forget your 2 hr commute - you have to tell the schedulers you're going to use it.
isn't everything ATL time?

Maybe, in one of our quarterly cq's there could be something other than the pure plain vanilla sterile scenario.
I DO realize there are scenarios for which there are no solution.
Cut to UPT standup:
Ferd: ok, new jet new day
Scambo: Is there a clearing line?
Ferd: Yes
Scambo: Okay, I'd enter the overhead and land
Ferd: Scambo you're an ace (smiley)

BR700 Series engines are used on Global Express and GV family, the new G650 also has BR700 family engines. Those jets are very dependent on the most efficient engine to gain maximum range...
Do you thing Gulfstream and Bombardier would both pick a fuel-inefficient unreliable motor for their top of the line business jets?
The BR715 has the largest fan diameter of the Br700 family with 58"
It is at least as efficient as the CFM56 or V2500 in the A319, with a smaller core and a higher bypass ratio probably more so...

If you get a 1400 SC time, you can call scheduling and tell them that you are using your two hour commute, which means they will not be able to contact you during the first two hours of your SC, so in this case you don't actually have to be in SEA until 1600. But you will be expected to be able to report right away if they call you at 1600. I use it all the time...works great. Also, when you get two hours from the end of your short call, they will usually release you, if you call and use your sexy voice.

I must have had the mean DC9 schedulers as opposed to the awesome 7er schedulers that NWAf16 had.
Why in the heck are you on reserve anyway?
