One day pairings are last in my bid group, and I'm still way to jr to get a four day. Most of my trips aren't commutable, but I'm lucky because I drive, even if its three hours. So yes, people are commuting to do day turns and pay for a pad or hotel.
I have personally seen it on a weekly basis. Friends on reserve are only flying 1, 2, and some 3 day trips. Our pilots will in fact be commuting to do turns. That's how the lines are being built. Also, October is a slow month. Not a lot of open time. Gonna get real ugly. That's fine though, just another shot in the foot of the company increasing attrition. |

Bidding 47% in base and I get all 4 day trips with no redeyes. Maybe hire PBS gurus or another company to do your bid because with that seniority you can get almost everything you want.

He's most likely in a base with more 1-2 trips on average.

I got everything off that I wanted and Thanksgiving. The reason I have so few days off is because three of my pairings end just before midnight, and are technically considered ending the next day.

Apparently these guys think it's your fault the company has built in so many 1 and 2 day trips.

Just for context, there are hardly any day turns in CA open time for the remainder of October more than two days out from now. MCO has quite a few but outside of that FLL and DTW each have one (late PM turns), and LAS/ORD/DFW all have a grand total of zero day turns in open time. I'm sure they will lose a few pilots over this, but the sky is hardly falling as most seem to be quite okay picking them up. Trust me I wish more people hated day turns as much as I hate a 15 hour layover in at the LGA Marriott on a four day will all short layovers. |

Yeah but that's reserve which is a whole different ball game. I'm sure they do get them on reserve when others call out sick, or they get the DH out to fly one leg back. That just comes with the territory of being on reserve though.
