Expect "A" reserve (midnight to noon), you work 14 days of each 28 day pay period.

they build 7 on/7 off schedules, but new hire probably could not hold that. More likely 4 on 4 off.

IF you get a base trip line(a line made up of left over trips), expect to work 15 days of the 28. The problem with these (junior) lines is that they are not commutable. You may have 36 hours off 6 times during the month, plus a 3 day stretch here or there.

You could end up working a long stretch if one bid period was end loaded and the next was front loaded, and there were short (24-36 hours) off between trips.

I have seen base lines where you would not get home (if you were a commuter) for 16 days straight.

2 of these, back to back, would be crappy
