Then you’ll take an Uber to whatever airport the plane is at. And off you go on your tour.

Agreed, however I know an operator(s) that deadheads you on their own equipment whenever they can…and it’s a wide empty space where seats once sat

With PBS bidding. I saw where people can 5 on 4 etc. What would be the chances or likelihood someone could bid something like weekends off. I'm a 121 Regional FO looking with the ability to hold weekends off now. The reason for the weekends off are due to my wife working weekends at a hospital and we have a young one at home. I like my schedule that I can hold but the commuting on days off to and from work waste a whole 24 hours that I could have at home as well as the cost of an additional expense of a crashpad are getting old. Just curious if my thought of moving to FlexJet with a paid commute (I live in a FJ base) would be doable with a schedule that we are trying to keep right now.
