Thinking high cost of living won't make it too attractive for most new guys.

They told me they attempt to put pairings on the night before at out stations like DAY for SCR but what would be the possibility of them agreeing to me doing it from home and then repositioning from the closer airport to CLT, DCA, etc since I'm assuming DAY is just like TYS with first leg repos to CLT.
This isn't my first airline so I'm gussing no but worth a shot based on what you guys said was allowed in TYS.
Thanks

So how flexible are they? I live 2.2 from DAY and that's the base I wanted. However I only live 0.7 from an airport that has AA (mostly PSA metal) service to CLT, DCA, PHL and ORD.

I'm sure that's the answer you were expecting.

SycoCell, I live in far Western NC (Murphy). Two hours south of TYS, 2 hours west of AVL, 1.5 hours east of CHA, and about 2 north of ATL. I am assuming a base assignment other than TYS I could commute from CHA. Thanks for the info.

Dumb question...
Hey all,
What are the CBA definitions of R1, BU, LCR, and SCR? I'm guessing R1 is airport reserve, BU I'm not sure of, LCR is long call, SCR is short call.. How long is long call reserve and short call reserve? BU, R1?
My son in law to be lives in Wilmington, NC and is about 200 hours out from 1500 hours.
Thanks

FWIW, our 12/19 FO class had all 5 bases for our initial bid. Many were awarded DCA. (We had people awarded each base, so anything is possible.)
Also, We're all wrapping up our oral exams this week, for those who'd be curious of training time. No delays for sims, rolling right into starting Sunday & Monday.
DAY training center was so crowded the last week, with three classes in place, good luck finding an open restroom!
And in CLT it was hard to find a room to use between orals and interviews...
It's a hoppin' place!
