On Long Call, you'll get first dibs on trips during the proffer the day prior. Seniority dependant of course. Mostly 2 and 3-days everyday to cover.
PHL flying is great, crews are solid, and honestly, the gate agents have been fine. It's an awesome base.
I've been here just about 2 years and have flown one 4-day and it was by choice. Movement is great, QoL is great. Highly recommend reserve in base and ride the wave. I average 10 days flying a month, with 4 or 5 nights away.
Good luck.
Biggest problem w/ PHL especially being junior were the redeyes, are those still a thing or have they abated somewhat?
