Five day trips under part 117 may be productive enough to make it work for some commuters. But if they are worth anything less than 25 hours, I doubt it.

So sfo is a very short reserve. How many 5 or 4 day trips out of Sfo.
I live in Sfo so that would be perfect for me but I am dreading reserve, you to fly for mesa and I was on ready reserve 4 times a week. And when I had am reserve they would automatically move me around and give me pm reserve

Sfo is possible, 175 best choice there, crj it's a senior base for a lot of the seniority list, especially since bro ppl were based there. Msp and ord to a lesser extent is junior and stays that way because most people are just biding their time to gain seniority somewhere else. DEN on 175 for FOs will be junior at first then potentially gaining seniority, by that I mean 2-3 year FOs as 4 year FOs are upgrading in other bases.

Any reason why the former Brasilia people in SFO staying in SFO go to the CRJ instead of the E175? How may EMB120 crews were in SFO?
