Morning turn pattern is typically Tu-Th every week, or Tu-Fri for three weeks with one week off. Afternoon turn pattern is typically Mon-Thurs for three weeks with one week off, sometimes Tu-Th every week.
Occasionally the pattern will be erratic either morning or afternoon, like a week of 5 turns, then a week of 3, then a week of 4.
For SDF reserve, it is fleet dependent but there are patterns that are week on/off (7/7 or 8/6), some patterns working three blocks with a full week off somewhere, and occasional patterns of short blocks every week. Sometimes there are 14-day RSV blocks, but those tend to be more prevalent for MD11 and SDFZ than Bus or SDF 757.
