The schedule is even more flexible now that everyone wants to sit on reserve. It may not be as flexible during the busy months but by October, people will pick up your shifts and you can try to pick up something in ATL. If you had to commute to BWI, doesn’t sound that bad compared to OAK. I was in the last class for a looong time when I got hired (been at SWA for 10+ yrs), and it won’t be as long for you.

An example he gave was BWI-LAX-BWI
Leave BWI at 2100 and get back at 0500. Otherwise the jet would be sitting there overnight anyways. He said obviously mx schedule would determine which ones flew.
also said about 50 to start

Hard to believe the ‘Tran did ATL-PHX-ATL redeye turns back in the day. Left ATL at 2200L FML

A 10:30 am flight turned into a 7:30 am flight….called and changed it to a 12:30 pm flight….I’m not getting up that early on vacation.
On our return a 11:45 am flight changed to 8:45 am. So there’s a 7:30 am and a 8:45 am flight leaving SEA to DEN on a Friday an the next nonstop isn’t until 3:30 pm now. 🤦🏼♂️
So things are changing for June at least. Can’t wait to see what the lines look like….

She made the changes to flights that worked better for us.
