Average length of the overnight rest periods?
Length of time on reserve before holding a line for F/O & Capt.?
Years required to hold a Capt. position, whether on reserve or a regular line?
Thank you in advance for your time in responding.

super senior
17 days of flying
Amazon mix bag
plan on 64 hours
standard atlas Amazon flying.

we are a 24/7/365 operator. If you’re asking about schedule now, this probably isn’t the place for you.

TPA base is going to be very small (20 Capts 20 FOs). It will probably be the 2nd most senior base behind JFK. The flying and schedules aren't going to be anything new, just the current Amazon flying. A mix of 17 days and chopped up schedules 1/2 leg days followed by 14-32 hour layovers. I would say the time line to get in to it might be so long the Amazon contract might be gone by the time your seniority could hold it.

Just like MIA and JFK are for the 747, the TPA 767 base that will open on March will go senior. Same for the new 777 MIA base.

I know this will change but could someone post the junior lines for the 767 and 747. Stil trying to make a good educated decision

Lines and flying are over the place. Bases however, most junior bases for each fleet

747 - ANC
777 - CVG
767 - CVG
737 - CVG

Plus, by the end of the month what you actually did will probably not resemble your bid award. Change is the only constant.

Except for the 73, which is basically the same all the time....again, and again, and again

Just curious - Are most of you still experiencing change as constant as it was before the viral debacle, or during the debacle (kind of drives things wild at times) or what I am most curious about = these past couple of months after some updated scheduling additions (contract)?

*For myself it was constant churn prior, steady then mind boggling during, but now just a few ripples here and there in the past two months. Just jinxed myself.
Note: I flew 1st half of the past two holiday months; therefore, it’s not as volatile is a solid guess.

My December schedule held up together for the most part until I hit ICN. The last couple days, don’t get me started…..

Just wanted to point out that 25.N.1 of the new CBA gives a lot more protection for primary lineholders in terms of schedule changes. Read it. Use it.
