Unfortunately no, we can't do that. However, our pilots based in NY have to cover trip that leave out of JFK, LGA and EWR. That represents their base.

Like you said, the only way we would fly a trip out of another base is if we were called while on reserve to cover a base that ran out of pilots.

So, you could end up flying to LA to take a flight. Could you also be sent to London? Or did you answer that and I missed it?

Yeah, on reserve we are often called up for domestic trips. And for us, that means LA, San Francisco and maybe Miami.
