Is the carrier you mentioned on id90 or Myidtravel?

They are not on either. I was looking the other day as the kiddo wants to ride on the DorkJet

Min days off per month on reserve is 12, so 15 days off while commuting is pretty unreasonable, but that shouldn’t be a surprise. As a line holder, 15 days off could happen, but I’d bank on 13-14.
I also don’t know where you commute from, commuting from Fargo will be significantly easier than San Diego, which also shouldn’t be a surprise.

Honestly, I’d highly consider driving more than flying. With that distance, even if everything goes well on your first choice commute, it’s not saving much time anyhow. When you can’t make your first choice commute, you’ll be glad you drove instead.
