Day Trips?
After lots of digging, I’m having a hard time finding anything relating to scheduling trips at RAH. Are single day trips (out and backs) regularly available? Specifically being based out of CMH? If there’s a thread already in existence that spells this kind of thing out, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Pref Bidding for Pilots>November (Not Published)>then look at the pairings for each codeshare.
Also, the pairings will change every month based on a variety of parameters.

Yes there are day trips that go around, but only if senior people don’t bid for them, and you know how to bid for them correctly. I’ve been doing only day trips the past two months, but I’m actually thinking about going back to 2-3 day trips..they are usually 12 hour days, four legs..yes I get more days off and am home every night, but I’ve also noticed it’s a huge drop in pay since per diem seems to be taking a hit (and seems to be all taxable, correct me if I’m wrong). Wouldn’t be bad on captain pay, but as an FO it kind of hurts lol...making as much as if I was on reserve practically, granted I’m flying around 83-85 hours average.
Just something to think about.

Outstation based, and holding day trips is the holy grail at Republic. You will lose some perdiem, but you can spent every night in your own bed. Bonus for not worrying about the tyrannical attendance policy at Republic.

Really “tyrannical”? Its been years since Republic has terminated a pilot just for reaching 8 occurrences. Culture change is the new norm at YX. Plenty of carpet dances though...
