Please read back through the last few months' posts on G4.
There is no normal. They can have the trips be anything they want, and when you get used to that, they can and will change it. The top guys in base are sitting reserve because the company wanted to do that, even though that's not what seniority would dictate. There is a war on the pilots.
No one can tell you when you are going to get to a certain base, hold a line, if they are going to do away with bases and make everything virtual, when you will upgrade, which equipment you will go to, if they will recognize your seniority or not on any given day, or if the operation will even be going next month.
If you are determined to go to G4, just be sure you have your strike fund ready. If you have any other options, I would seriously consider those.
