the reality is you are junior and will end up with the dregs. At the rate we are hiring this will change quickly.
That is correct. We do AM or PM trips. If your a commuter, one side will usually have a hotel. That being said, many of our lines have 16 to 18 days off, with reserve lines having the minimum 15 days off exclusively. Commuting sucks all around. Doesn't matter how many days you have off. Your gone a lot more than living in base.
