Everything subject to change and as a new hire I'm unsure what you might get, but I have flown with new hires who were gap fillers to some really good locations in Europe vs the standard Asia that ANC/LAX bases are stovepiped too. Easiest commute is preferred of course and perhaps going to the same places mostly and learning the ropes would be better the first year or two before the shotgun effect out in the system. Somewhat a crap shoot at times.
Thanks for all the great info! Should a new hire plan on working 17 in a row and off 13? Maybe better than that some months but is that the norm? Plan for min credit? Or 74 fly enough to credit more than min?
