There was one of those in LAS ELITT too. Somebody grabbed it... it's probably a good thing for a commuter, but big circadian shifts are like kryptonite for me.

I just started a similar trip. Elitted into it. Late report first day trending to a somewhat early report on the 3rd day. Commutable both ends...

Lol. Me too. Me too. Saw a later report on the same day I was already working that paid more. So I swapped for it, saw what it was and got my old trip back thankfully.

According to SWAPA 42% of the pilots commute. Trust me, someone wants a line of nothing but PM turned AM commutable trips.

And the company should offer several lines like that in each domicile so that those who do want them can fly them.

100% agreed.

It'd be nice if they'd put them all in the same line so folks that want them can get and keep them, and reduce the number of them in the ELITT minefield.

Ironically, "commutable" PM turned AM lines are the worst ones for my commute.

And you have to get up early on at least one of the days.

Personally I’d prefer a late PM turned earlier Pm trip for commuting purposes. Nobody should have to get up at the time most of our AMs report

If I can get released around 7 or 8 pm on day 3, it’s usually a perfect trip. It’s the 2200-0100 release that adds an extra commute day for me

Glad that works for you. When I commuted it involved catching a train or an Uber over to the big boy airport (ORD, DFW, IAH) and hitching a ride on AA to the town I lived in. I would need to be back in base by around 6 pm to have more than one shot at a commute home.
