The way things are going, we are either going to need to drop the FOs from the MidWest or hire a bunch more. I think we are almost at the point where we have more interns and TDY pilots (some flying as FOs) than regular pilots.

All the flying will be out and backs, usually with minimal ground time at the outstation. Sometimes, not very often, a middle turn will cancel and you sit in the outstation for a couple hours.
