You think commuting sucks now? Wait till the 5-day trips start. Oy vey, this can't be good.

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

If this is the case* why don't they give new hires when they start class a choice of domiciles first before an assigning or choosing an airframe? Seems like they would/should want to cover as many trips or have enough reserves regardless of aircraft. (*disclaimer, I am interested in a SFO base, with the idea it is better to be on reserve where you live than to commute to reserve or a line)

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.

Correct. Everyone transferring out of ORD is killing us. Which has caused them to meter it down a bit
