There's actually quote a bunch from what I've seen. Mostly guys who either have other business or married wives who make a lot of money. I've met a lot of guys who said they wouldn't give up the 1900 for anything else. Most of these guys are based in Tampa and quite content with the status quo.
Smartest guys in the business I've always said.

I've heard rumors about CLE becoming the main base, but that's 1 of many many rumors.

Easy commute imo there is no overnight (unless a plane breaks or you get stuck for weather) and depending on what line you get you can commute in the the same day or the night before if you have the morning shift.

There is evening and day trips and they all end in base. I've had 4 day and 5 day pairings. I've seen between 2-5 day pairings just depending on the line you get. I commute in and when I only have 2 days off I will go back to ORD since it's an easy commute out of here and back.

Yes, both the flying and reserve lines typically follow a 3 on/2 off or 4 on/3 off schedule. I dont think i've seen a line yet that has only 1 day off between trips (though some of the FL lines have that for guys that live in base). Contract guarantees a minimum of 11 days off.
