Schedules will always be changing depending on destinations, routes, number of aircraft in the fleet, and economic cycles, ....so it's hard to say. As the schedules mature, more senior guys will bid over from other fleets, and with pref bidding, the junior guys will fly the junior trips. Most trips are 2 or 3 days, some are back to back. And no guarantee you'll be on the bus....there's as much chance of the 76, and some chance of the 717. In general the 71 goes fairly senior for those who live on the island and want to be home every night, though there are openings for new hires from time to time. If you're lucky enough to get an interview or an offer, base your decision on criteria such as whether you like the company, whether the island life / culture is for you, and whether it'd be a good fit for the long term. How you fare in the short term will depend on many variables, few of which you can control. Be happy, and good luck!
