Is 3 days or 4 days trip more common for new FO?
If depending on base and equipment, please share what your common trips look like.
thanks!

I believe its still mostly 4 day trips as 3 days tend to go senior. Most or all of the time, trying to trip trade from a 4 to 3 day will not happen (due to low reserve coverage - supposedly). Then again, if you are trying to change a 4 day to another 4 day with same days, that also will be denied for some odd reason. Anyway, expect 4 day trips over the weekends if you are junior and holding a line.

So if you are sitting on reserve, are the trips 2-4 days that are assigned, or are there any that are out and back same days, or is it just something different each time?

Whatever is open, it could be just one flight and a deadhead base and done, it could be a day or four. You could fly a 10 hr 4 day or a 20 hr 3 day. It varies on what is open and what the company needs covered.

Sounds like being on reserve sucks.
