It all depends on which base you get! MSP and DEN has a bunch of 3, 4 and 5 day trips, while PIR, FMN and CYS does indeed have a lot of day turns. Their is enough movement though, you should be able to hold the base of your choice (with poissibly the excption of DEN) within 6 months.
Their is currently a guy in my upgrade class who has been here 8 months, so if you meet the ATP mins, you can upgrade pretty quick. I would throw that in the "good light" colum. After all, you don't come to lakes to be a career FO!
