747 Base differences:
JFK.normally never start or end our of JFK, so usually airlining to/from somewhere else.trips to everywhere. Trip lengths usually 6-16 days.
MIA. Most trips start and end in MIA. If an FO lineholder, outandbaks to Latin America....often very short trips. If an FO reserve, will get sent all over the systemon longer trips.
HSV. Trips start on HSV, but can end anywhere. Think mostly longer trips.
CVG. Believe most trips start and end in base...and the troops are long.
IAH. Fly to Luanda a lot.was out and back, short trip, but that changed due to new FDRest rules.
ANC.Most trips start and end there.May have shorter trips...like 3 days...to Asia and back. have to own a plane to be based in ANC, taildragger with floats, skis and tundra tires are preferred.
LAX. Most trips start and end I LAX.not sure of trip lengths.
ANC junior for new FOs. Think LAX and JFK most senior.
Any corrections/additions to this info most welcome.
Namaste.
