Set up text alerts for open time/drops ect.. be on what we call Skedplus all the time.. It looks like a calendar with all the trips posted you and even ho to other basses and pick up trips...

Stay in the domicile that will give you the highest possible bidding seniority (ORD, MSP, or COS on the CRJ). Bid the most efficient trips and pick up the most efficient trips possible on your days off (usually efficient locals if you can find them).

Thanks threeighteen and amcnd for the tips. I’m already trying to futz around sked+ and learn it a bit. Understand one cannot pick up available trips while I’m on reserve so will have to work days off to get time if I’m sitting. Appreciate the advice. Thanks and hope to see you on the line.

Are these always the busiest bases or does it change? I guess a better question is when putting in for a base after training how does one know which base to bid for shortest reserve since there is an ebb and flow.
