Are there many trips that begin with a DH? Is this a viable strategy as a commuter?

Looks like beginning in mid January, the new hire classes will be starting on the 700 instead of the 200 during training. Differences will introduce students to the 200 after sims are finished.

Interesting, my training material seemed to have us focus on the 200.

I forget the actually phraseology in the contract, but it mentioned something along the lines of "if the company does not incur any additional cost". Is that ever an issue when asking them to DH you from (or to) somewhere else?
