Re: commuting Commuting while on reserve really isn't that big of a deal. You have to be a little more flexible, but again, not a big deal. You won't be home as much as a line holder will, but you'll still make it home.
At Comair, I get 11 or 12 (30/31 day month) days off per month minimum while on reserve. A set of 4 in a row, a set of 3 in a row, and the other 4 or 5 spread out in 1 or 2 in a row. Not very different from the schedule Doug had above.
I live in Vegas and commute to CVG. Plenty of non stops each day and only 3 1/2 hours flight time. Not a bad commute at all. |
