How long are the usual legs on those CDO trips? And your edit...do CDO lines usually give 12-13 days off per month?
Sorry for all the newbie questions btw
I know ATL and JFK have dedicated sleep rooms and I have heard LGA does as well, but have never found it. It would be 3 consecutive CDOs for 4 days of work (and 2 12 hour rest periods in base). Yes, CDOs usually give 12-13 days off a month but I have seen 11. You will not see CDO lines mixed with any sort of other flying. We do have something called a CNO line where CDOs are mixed with 7:15 pm to midnight reserve periods.
