commuting to work

For those of you that live away from base, how hard would it be to commute to NYC from BOS. Would it be tough to do this without obtaining a crashpad? Case and point, can I sit reserve in Boston if I work in NYC?

Depends on how long your call out window is. If it were 3 hours and you were close to Logan it could be doable...but you better keep an eye on weather and delays. In general, no, you'd need a crashpad where you are based.

If you are on rsv, you will have really no choice but to get a crashpad.

the commute is a piece of cake on a number of airlines.

But you couldnt sit reserve Boston and be in New York unless you had more than a 3 or 4 hour call out.

Bear in mind, this was when both the USAir and Delta shuttles were running full schedules and there is a flight every half hour throughout most of the day.
