The longest flight we have is just over 5 hours. Plenty of 3-4 hour legs. Plenty of 2-2.5 hour legs. It really just depends and you will likely get a mix of everything. If you don't like overnights, especially night hub turns, you can usually avoid it. There are some later night flights and overnights you simply can't avoid.
Can the days be batched together like 7 off back to rotation and another 7 off? Asking because I want to commute from SA using gateway travel and I heard 737 is junior. It's only a 2:45 minute flight to miami with many backups. thanks for the reply.
