The poster that listed the lines out of MIA are those lines back to back or is that one trip spaced out with a day or two in between? I get that that is not the same as a pax airline schedule of a four-day trip on the road but just wondering if those lines are basically just out and backs and that is the expected Jr schedule
Sadly, the Night EDW turns are not back to back for the most part. Won't fit with all of the stipulations that the contract, company, fatigue group and rest rules implement on the turn lines.
You may find yourself doing a 2 night turn this week. Monday and Thursday. Or next week, 3 turns mon, tue and wed. It's a max of 10 per month(28 day cycle). Almost guaranteed to work every week.
Your definition of out and back is pretty close. However, this will be at night. So that last out and back this week on Thursday PM actually gets you back at 7 am on Friday. A day out and back on Thursday to Bogota has you leaving on Thursday at 930 and returning on Thursday at 6 pm. The night BOG will have you leaving at 11 pm and returning on Friday am at 8. See the difference?
