I can definitely recommend this one. It’s run by a lovely older lady who is very friendly and wants to make sure you’re happy. She lives there too, but you get a nice and bright living room to yourself.
On crashpd411 it’s this one “B&B-like' includes Shuttle and Breakfast $175”

Canton, Plymouth and Novi are really good areas. Fairly close to U of M. I don’t know about Novi but Canton and Plymouth have really good private catholic schools. PM me if you want more info.

Our Lady of Victory (Northville) and Our Lady of Good Council (Plymouth) are the Catholic Schools in the area.
Compuware AAA at The USA Hockey Arena, Victory Honda AAA at The Victory Ice Center, and the Plymouth Cultural Center also has teams but I’m not sure if the skill level.

Was going to create a thread to ask this. Glad I found this one.
In DTW:
What percentage of assigned reserve days can you expect to get called out? Depends on season?
Once you get a line, how easy is it to drop trips? What about the whole month?
What are the chances of someone picking up a trip you posted?
And finally, what is the breakdown of trip length? Mostly 4 days? Even mix? any locals at all?
I like working as much as the next guy but sometimes I just need some extended family time. Thanks for the replies.

Reserve
Summer = fly a lot
Fall = fly little
Also depends on the reserve period and type (short/long call)
I’ll let the DTW give you more detailed information.
In simple terms, our system is designed to have a 75% reserve coverage on Initial Open Time. Dropping a trip thru 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmass, as you would expect, it’s extremely hard, but not unheard of. We are a very seasonal airline, so summer time it’s harder to drop trips, specially weekends. Nonetheless, this is an extremely flexible airline, and you could have a lot of time off, almost as much as you want expect during popular holidays (while jr). This applies to lineholders only. Reserve, almost no flexibility.
In theory, you could be part-timer as a line holder
We like lazy around here, and regardless of what you might read on these forums, we have good pilots that could leave to a legacy but decided to stay and enjoy a laidback life.
