Or the ability to have a lay over in FAR to go home for a bit
That is possible but after a quick look I didn't see any FAR overnights in MSP pairings. If they do show up they might only be around for a month or it may be another base flying them. Also it's possible to be a standup so you would not have time to go home anyway.
If your concerned about where your going to be sleeping half the month this may not be for you. I see a lot of peeps miserable on trips because they are away from home and wonder if they didn't know that going in?

Thanks for the info, I'm not necessarily worried about where I sleep for half the month and I know what I'm walking into. I know I can expect 2-4+ day trips and be away from home. The wife and I knew that well before applying and after getting hired. I just have zero clue on how the bidding works yet, what the trips are like out of MSP, or even what trips would be possible to bid for. I know there are a good amount of skywest flights in/out of FAR just curious as to the likely hood of maybe seeing the wife an extra night/afternoon or two randomly.
