To answer the question, the trips will be just like out of the other domiciles, meaning mostly 3- and 4-day trips through all 105 of our system’s cities, excepting the Hawai’i (ETOPS) legs. There are some 2-day trips. As mentioned above, lines of FO day turns aren’t available until one is senior enough to upgrade, and those lines are often bid in order to clear your board via Give Away and play the Lance Captain game.

As as newhire, one may be involuntarily assigned to an ETOPS Bid Group (EBG), in one of the western domiciles. I believe being non-vol’d to EBG means no lock, whereas volunteering for EBG comes with a six bid-period lock.

Reserve lines are mostly 3- and 4-day blocks, either AM (0300? RAP) or PM (1100? RAP), with report no more than two hours from call, and push no more than one hour after show.

Hope this helps.
