Mesaba schedules
How are the reserve schedules typically laid out? 5on/2off, a lot of single days off, etc? Do they let you commute in on your first day on and release you early enough on your last day to get home? If there is anyway to get a copy of your lines for a month that would be great too. Thanks

in msp on the 900 it seems to be 5 on 3 off (3x) and 5 on 2 off (1x) every month, and i usually dont have a problem getting released early for the last flight home, since i have made it pretty clear that i commute. The worst that i have gotten was crew scheduling let me list and get a boarding pass and then call right before i get on the aircraft (in this case they let me go). most of the time if you commute, plan on coming out the day before. I was in mem for awhile and used the late Fedex flights. I left home at 8pm, and got into MEM at 2am, and started reserve at 6am.

Sometimes you get a RR several times a month, sometimes never.

AM: 5-1, 6-2, 7-3
PM: 1-9, 2-10, 3-11
Also I've had all of these start/end on the 1/2 hour after the hour listed above
It all depends on what they need. Also I've never broken 10 hours on straight reserve.
