Commuting from Mainland (plan to move but will need to get back and forth some) still the same? Overall impressions? As a first year FO what can I expect schedule wise? TIA!
I looked at the GUM bid package a few months back and the junior trips are mostly red-eye turns to HND and so on. The Island Hopper trips go super senior. As someone who detests redeyes (not to mention turns!) I'd be miserable. Those trips are single augmented so there's a rest seat, but on the Guppy it's just a regular FC seat (not a lie flat). Hopefully someone based there can offer more helpful info, though!
