Grumble 12-14-2014 06:48 AM

When I was commuting to reserve, I would always call skeds to see if they could use me somewhere else before making the trek. Every now and then they'd give me a trip at another base, and positive space if need be. Always worth a call, sometimes you'll save yourself 5 days of crashpad suicide awareness.

Ha! You know you are talking about Den right? There has not been a single Den vacancy award since Jan 2014...when a handful of guys senior to God rolled in as Guppy Captains. :D Did have some guys surplus into the Guppy from other Den fleets this summer, but that is just rearranging the deck chairs. SSDD for Denver.

You know it Lerxst! But I can wait. Denver based, line seniority, an Epic Local pass, and a new board. What else do you need?? :D

The Hoss knows what I'm talking bout!! STILL, reserve in base trumps commuting to a line in MY book.
