Yeah I never did the cold or hot bed thing. I would rent a room in the area when I was on reserve, and even held the room as a line holder for while. Once I figured out that I could commute the day of my trip, I got rid of the room. It was actually a good deal at the time, $400 for a private room and shared bathroom in DC. But I always had around 3 days off in-between trips on reserve and as a line holder, so I was able to get home to see the fam.

Fo’s close to res pre covid are bidding in the mid 20’s but ok. I wouldn’t consider that stagnant. There are alot of redeyes no doubt which is why I mentioned the turn options. I haven’t a redeye in years bidding close to 50.

Also… “ Fo’s close to res pre covid are bidding in the mid 20’s but ok.” that is completely not true.

LAS is stagnant as they are growing other bases, which is why people are bidding out of LAS to upgrade. Bid packets don’t lie. You have to gain some seniority to get those 4 turn day trips and hopefully, if you’re a commuter, you can group them together. However, if you can stomach commuting from DFW to a FL base, you will find the schedules & seniority you’re seeking.

I was looking at either Orlando or Philly. I have some friends in both those cities, but I'm so used to 4 day trips and having hotels covered and then commuting home on day 4. Wasn't sure after reading this thread how I should plan. My wife and I are still excited about joining the team! Just need to figure out the commuting process. Currently in DFW
