I have a goal in mind and I'm not going to let something like commuting stop me. I've done it before. It's not as bad as the Debby Downers make it.
Commuting sucks sucks sucks! and my name is not Debby

Honestly, your best bet is to call crew scheduling and see where they need reserves. More than once I was willing to pick up a P2 reserve, but they were only interested in P1, so I wouldn't do it.

Sitting right seat at a Regional for a decade sucks more than commuting for a short time to achieve a goal. I agree commuting can be difficult at times. But, everyone's situation is different.

It looks like 16-05 final has 13 fewer DTW 200 FO's, 3 fewer MSP 200 FO's, 5 fewer MSP 900 FO's, and a gain of 19 DTW 900 FO's.

I'm still hopeful for ~ the third vacancy of 2017.

As far as commuting goes, I agree with the above; everyone's situation is different. I'm not a fan of big cities, I'll be a commuter for life and it doesn't bother me a bit knowing the QOL I have when I get home. It's the two leg commutes that'll put you in the grave early.

It's ok, there are 18 TDY's of 900 captains OUT of DTW for December.... If you are willing to be based in New York (likely a Co-Domicile by Spring) and don't mind having to interview for a job at a major, this is still a good place.... want to be a captain in MSP or DTW.... well you best hope GoJets finally goes bye bye

Planning has said there's an imbalance between Ca's and Fo's in Detroit. Looks like they're starting to address it with 16-05

Delta essentially has street captains in NYc, even at 6 times our pay, people don't want to go there. The company needs to be more realistic about basing there, even virtual basing for NY would be a step in the right direction.

If I had positive space to NYC and a decent line I would consider being based there.

I would consider it for a stipend for a crash pad and a decent line. I don't think positive space is needed, but I do think that they should review the commuter policy. I think it would benefit everyone if they positive spaced after a failed first attempt.

They pretty much already do. I've been positive spaced after missing my first attempt every time I've called.
