What are the lines like in STL? Is this a passenger or cargo deal? As an FO, could you commute it? How about CPT? Any layovers or are you home at night?

There are still some open lines in STL the pilots are based at the outstations and are home each night. Each base has 3 lines a
TWTF afternoon line
MTWT morning line and a
FSSM line like this:
Friday-morning
Sat and sun - all flights (start later in the day and end earlier than normal i think)
Monday-Evening schedule

All flying is Passenger
Some pilots are commuting
what is CPT?
No layovers as mentioned above.

I hate to say it, but the STL lines are kinda junk. I'm not sure what the FO lines look like, but CA lines are all 4 on/3 off with 8 hour duty days and 35-39 hours of credit per week (min guarantee is 35 hours). It's hardly above min guarantee, so I don't see why you'd bid one of these lines when there are open 4/3 schedules that credit 47+ hours. On the flip side, if you really don't want to work, there are available 4/5 lines (yes, 4 on/5 off) at the ALB outstations that pay min guarantee. Since people are only working slightly above min guarantee with these STL lines anyway, I'd much rather take the extra days off.

Now, if you're from the area it could be a great move. Not everyone wants the Rutland or Saranac Lake high time lines.

There's 1 open RUT line currently and 2 open LEB lines. SLK has 1 open line as well, and I think PBG does too. Nobody wants to do north country this time of year. Brrrrr.

Thanks for the replies. I only ask because the next FO class is for STL. I was curious if you could commute or if you would have to move. Anyways, appreciate it.

The Cost of Living out in the STL region is dirt cheap, which is a benefit for the guys since the line values are low, plus 2 of the 3 lines in each base have Sat & Sun off.
