Thanks HPIC , Clue & Johnny for the info & suggestion aswell .
I thought it would be better to ask the question than not asking at all .
I am also thinking the same at this stage to i.e once I am finished with training on the 737 then maybe move to CVG and work from there after 6 months from the start .Or perhaps live in ORD or Baltimore if commute becomes too hard basket initially ( to australia & back ) but I do want to give it a try and see how it all works out.
I am also 50/50 on the 76 out of west coast if I get it once I am through E3 and other paperwork. I understand as a junior I may end up in CVG and then eventually move to a 76 base in ONT west coast and probably commute from ONT to Australia
Lastly , Would it be okay to live at base ( like CVG ) and work from there and by doing that does one miss out on the extras $$ at all.
Thanks & appreciate your input .

That said a lot of people who live in base make a little more money by sitting reserve and vxing. Not my jam, but it works for some.

17/13 will still be a thing for R2/3 however reserve on the 767 in those blocks goes very senior.

People who live in base seem to do well on hotel reserve. As always someone can correct or add context here.
We also have secondary lines, like but not identical to buildup lines elsewhere, which are worth a separate post.

We have a mix that includes a good number of 17 day lines. Chances of you getting a 17 day line are decent, especially on secondary lines.

I am considering bidding for this. The single monthly commute would work great. Also knowing my schedule for the year would really help on the home front and hey, I could get a half the kid's birthdays, my anniversary, and the Christmas Hollandaise off. However, I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in bank account that keeps getting smaller. I'd like to put more in that account. That's where flying a lot comes in.
Any tales from the line would help. There are just so many known-unknowns that must be balanced with the two known-knowns before making a yearlong commitment.
We have three types of reserve assignments, home reserve (R1, 10 hr call out), hotel reserve (2hrs) and airport reserve. There are some considerations with extendability if you are a reserve.

Also, just confirming those lines would be 17 in one hit and then consecutive days off?
