WB flying, always and everywhere, is fundamentally different than NB.
Widebody pilots fly one leg, rest a day then fly another leg home.
Narrowbody pilots fly multiple legs, rest 12 hours, fly multiple legs, rest 12 hours, fly multiple legs home
Every time you fly a leg (double transiting a base) there’s an opportunity for trouble.
A new hire will be on reserve. It’s unpredictable (search global reserve) but most find it ok living in base. Time to line varies by base and will shift depending on how the new contract incentivizes nb ca
