Default Best PBS parameters to minimize commuting

Does anyone have a good method to minimize commute with PBS? I would love to just be gone 2 wks and knock out all the flying. Any good ideas on how to put my bid in?

Set condition...LIVE IN BASE...Else start next?

(I'm a commuter too. Couldn't resist, though.)

I can't disagree. Wish it was possible.

Well I suppose now I'm obligated to help, huh? Crap. Can we get some more info? Base, aircraft, relative seniority in category, even where you're commuting from might be handy?

Well I'm just looking for how I would tell PBS to tightly space my trips all together. Basically one after another. Is the best command the Pattern command? Or min time in base? Or another?

Go to work for atlas or Kalitta....17 days sttaught every month. And they pay for your commute. There.....problem solved.

I'm also interested in any tips. Delta, living in ATL, commuting to NYC, 7ER B, 94% in category according to this:

Pilot Relative Position

So far, I'm just trying to resist asking for a prefer off day unless I really need it and asking for 8 day, then 7 day, then 6 day etc trips. Anything obvious I'm missing?

At 94% make sure to enter a reserve bid too with days off preferences.
