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. 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??
