A mix of pairings from 1 to 4 days. I think the 4 days are about 45% of the pairings, but vary in productivity from 19 to 28 hours. The 1 day trips are either 4 leg SFO to LAX, LAS or SEA, or are the Cabo and PVR turns.

There is a PBS bid system. You have to bid 70 credit in a month, max is 95.

RONs are in decent hotels, Hilton, Westin and similar. SEA and JFK have downtown hotels for the longer stays and airport hotels for the short stays.

If you don't live in Cali, you only have to pay the CADI tax which is short term disability.

SFO has the most flying, LAX is growing and JFK is very small. Seniority runs top to bottom in each place, but in the smaller domiciles a junior guy has less to pick from once the senior bidders fill in their schedules.

Lots of redeyes, SFO and LAX to BOS, JFK, IAD & FLL just about every night.

Hope this helps.
