Reserve (many “professional reserves” here)
Turn lines (out and backs)
Base Trip Lines (more/shorter trips)
Week on/off

International fleets have longer trips & blocks of reserve, up to 14 days.

I did morning turns for almost 4 years, with the exception of the June/July bid when I did day flying. I think I had less than 20 hotel stays each of those years, and a bulk of those stays I did have were self-induced via trip pickup or trading.

Night flying ain’t easy, but the QOL that comes from living in domicile cannot be overstated.

I wasn't aware of that. When I see a lot of take offs during the day, are those pretty senior guys? There is a big push at night, I can hear you guys over my house.

Day flying tends to be more senior than night flight, yes...but its probably attainable once you get to 80% or so in seat.

Completely unrelated and I am sorry. But I see you’re from Louisville Ky. I am currently in Lexington and just got my CFI, have the CFII ride jan 5. Do you have any suggestions for finding a flight school. Just moved to Lexington in September to save some $ being from NY flying a lot more expensive. So trying not to move again lol again I apologize for being off topic
