Most narrow body max at 4-5 days and wide body (inc. 757/767) can go for 2 weeks. If you live in base and want to be home reserve isn't a bad place to be if your fleet is well staffed.

Wait for the fleet drop in class and by that time you'll have access to DeltaNet and will be able to see schedules for all fleets in all bases.

One thing to keep in mind is choosing a fleet that is in the base you want to end up in as a base swap is easier than going through another training cycle.

Good Luck - Baja.
Lately, I feel like a M88 pilot. I have been flying a lot of 3-4 leg days (with a 5 legger too). As long as its mainline's flying; Im not complaining.
