But cool.

It's also used as a spare to fly in any of the systems.

I believe you've erroneously correlated generic spares and at-risk flying.

And i believe you can't admit you were wrong about being able to fly a generic spare on regular routes.

LCR 175 ORD Experiences...?
 
What's the long call reserve experience like in ORD? Should I plan to be more in ORD at the crash pad or can I wait at home(SEA)?

Thanks.

Plan to do a bunch of locals (late and early turns) and be converted to the max (7). Sounds great on paper, can be not so great for a commuter in the real world.

Becomes a game re: converting you before noon on day 1 of the next block. Which I'm guessing any earlier show would require you commuting in the night before from SEA.

Quite frustrating getting converted on day 1, IND turn with a 2230 release day five wile sitting three days of nada in the middle.

Add a super early MKE turn in the middle of the reserve block

Long call is the worst thing I've experienced here

I feel kind of dumb for asking but I'm coming off some extended MIL leave and I'm getting back into the books for my AQP. I can't seem to find the source document for the report times for domestic/international flights other than the reference to the first flight of a pairing jazz. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. PM preferably.

Thanks !
