Is it legal for CS to remove a normal day trip off a pilot’s schedule and assign them a high speed in lieu of the day trip?

Also, it is totally shocking that people actually bid to do high speeds. My hat is off to those that do because they are some kind of evil.

High speeds rock! Don’t do many myself, but if I was RSV, I would bid to do them. Pick up a few when they are 200%.

Know a guy here who does mostly CDOs. Flies around 55-60 hours a year. Heck of a way to earn $90,000 and work another full-time job that pays even more!

Lately, it's been more hours since Skywest took all the short CDO's.

CDO's are vastly more commutable than reserve, for what its worth.

Can you explain how they work and what exactly makes them more commutable? Any screen shots of an actual schedule with CDOs that you or anyone else can share?

Why do we need 20-25 captains a day next month for reserve in ATL? That seems like maximum overkill.

A CDO is "last out, first back" flying. Fly the last flight out from the hub and first flight back while remaining on duty all night. You get about 5-7 hours at night at the hotel to rest but the entire day as well. You show at about 8:30pm and usually finish by about 8am, depending on the city and day of the week. Our CDO lines have about 3 of them in a row. Some guys just hang out at the crew room all day between them eliminating the need for a crash pad. 100% commutable since you'd don't need to arrive til late on first day of sequence and can leave very early on last day.

Edit: expect 12-13 days off.
