Show 0920 on Day 1, fly 2 legs, off 12 hours
Day 2: fly 3 legs, off 22 hours
Day 3, fly 1 short leg, off 11 hours
Day 4, 1 leg home. Done by Noon

Pay about 21.5hrs
It varies incredibly by fleet and domicile. On the MD, this week Monday: show 1540L two legs blocked in just before 2400. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday the same. These are turns which are a good deal if you live local, like weekends off, and want to sleep in your own bed every night. Not sure how junior they go every month (I normally bid reserve), but definitely within reach for someone who’s been here a couple years. Assuming retirements and growth follow current projections (I’m aware of that gamble), someone hired in the next couple months should advance up the seniority list about as quickly at either UPS or AA. You will probably have at least 6-12 months of not a lot of control while folks behind you go through training and folks ahead of you wait for their upgrades. The variability between fleets is massive, but no one from my new hire class has opted to leave the 75/76, Airbus, or 74 for the MD. So obviously, life over there can’t be that bad.
