Typically, but not always

3) Are 2-4 day trips mainly junior?
It depends. Redeyes and other annoyances (ATL) can leave some untouched

4) If it's short call reserve, what's the typical time to report if i'm activated? I know it says two hours but i'm 1:50 minutes away, don't want to be late and trying to avoid crashpad etc.
Plan on exactly two hours. Either a crashpad or a hangout spot halfway.

5) Is parking provided only for that base you're assign?
In-base parking or parking credit

6) What can I expect while on reserve as far as time on and off. 3 or 4 on and 3 or 4 off intervals?
You can usually build the pattern you want if thats all you care about.

CVG is my focus and I know I may or may not get it fresh out of class.
The scheduling mechanics are different in small bases.

Check FFTpilots.com for more specifics, but all of this could change tomorrow.


Thank you
