There isn't a usual day at Alaska. You could have a 2 day that flies 5 legs through southeast Alaska, layover and do 5 legs home. You could have a 2 leg turn worth 8.5. You could do a 2 day with one leg to the islands and one leg home. You could do a 4 day with Hawaii emedded. You could have back to back redeyes covering two duty periods, but 3 calendar days. You could also do 2 to 4 days of flying up and down the west coast averaging 5 hours per day.

Almost any combo you can dream up is build into a pairing.

Our average days off across all flying is around 15-16 with a credit around 80. Max days off is usually 21 and min is usually around 12 or 13.

If I was pushed to say what an average trip looks like, I would say one to 3 legs each day averaging just over 5 hours of flying per day.

If you have any friends at Alaska, you could probably get them to email you a bid packet.
