Not sure if it was a trial thing, but I noticed in my base's bid pack for Jan that there were quite a few PM turned AM trips for several lines. Not a full line worth but 2-3 of the trips anyway.

In domicile this career is a hobby. Out of domicile it’s a full time job.

I’m definitely not critical of others’ choices. We’re all adults and make our own decisions but I’m moving to a domicile as soon as practicable. The only decision is which one.
It will be interesting to see what shakes out when LAX opens.

Denver reps put out 6% commutable trips in January, company looking to double that in February.

An experiment over the slow months or permanent shift in recognition of large percentage of commuters? No idea.

Yeah, I got saddled with a PM-turn-AM 4-day next month. Three sub-twelve-hour layovers.

If the company is trying to reduce fatigue calls...

One man’s trash is another’s treasure. When I commuted I would’ve given my left arm for a trip like that!

I thought most in DEN lived there. I won’t bid them, so commuters have at it. Going to work before 10 am gives me anxiety. Lol

It’s not easy. Our loads are high, and there are always guys coming and going between MSP/MDW. You have ORD and the choo choo train! Switching terminals in MSP is a 30 min deal, so you can’t play two close flight at a time.

MCO has very few commuters, especially on the Capt side, and we've got some PM turned AM nightmares in Jan.

I actually ELITTed into one for a few minutes until I took a look at it. Late PM start on the first day and O'Darkthirty report on the last. I couldn't get out of it fast enough.
