One way is to live in base, bid reserve, and put a 3 or 4 day 3xPrem trip on your golden days. I've done that before. I Worked 12 days total for the month after factoring in days that I wasn't called in on reserve. Flew around 61 hours and credited about 112 hours.

Additionally, if you are commuting to reserve, your reserve will start at 5 am so you will need to be in base the day prior. If you pick up just the last leg of the day before, you will get premium for that day (16 hours or 12 if only double premium), can get a positive space from your home, and they will add the days of that trip after onto your reserve days saving you $$ on hotels or a crashpad.
Guys that live in base were regularly crediting 150+ hours during the summer

What they want to hear is if you know when you can go below DA, which in fact you can go down up to 100 ft above TDZE, if you have runway environment in sight, below that only if you see red terminating bars, if captain persists on going below without those in sight, hit the mic and tell atc u going missed.....that is just a tricky question....

It seems you are a E145 pilot at PDT, I'm a new hire on the 12/05 class coming from the CRJ 700 at another regional. Could you please give an insight on their training culture? Level of difficulty? They want you to build the airplane on systems or they are practical? Good attitude and effort means they will work with you if you need extra time? Extra sim time have you seen it in training with one of your colleagues from class? I know training is training and if you study you will make it anyways, I'm just trying to have a glimpse on their training culture....any insight would be much appreciated......thank you.....
