What does the flying out of Vegas look like for a junior FO?

All you'll see is runway lights....
There is more daytime flying out of LAS than in the past. But Junior as an FO, esp on RSV.. lots of night flying...

Thanks for the insight. My main concern is to be based in Vegas, if I end up flying nights a lot early on so be it.

It depends on the reserve period you bid. Mornings and days don't get used as much as evenings. The evening guys look like they are getting used every group of days they're on.

Things are changing rapidly, there's no telling what it will be like in a couple of months and when PBS launches.

I'm entirely new to PBS. What's the most consecutive trip days Frontier offers? Would it be possible to do 2 5-6 day trips in a month and reach minimum credit? Commuting twice a month would be nice.

Pbs will allow you to string as many days as you want in a row as long as you comply with 117 contractual buffers.

I was doing exactly that when the threshold was lower (COVID slowdown) bidding high credit 2-day trips. It’s possible now but would mean you’d need an avg daily credit of almost 6.5 hours per day to reach the 75-ish hour threshold in 12 days. Also we don’t have many 4 day trips (zero 4-5 day) any more, turns and 2 days seem to be the most efficient.

Default Typical schedule TPA base

Hey guys,

Just wondering what the the flying is like out of TPA base (especially for a junior FO). Is it mostly day turns and two days or a good spread? red eyes? Is it a junior base for FOs and CAs? If I got hired, that is where I would be based at and I'm trying to decide if my QOL would be drastically better than being at my current 8/6 schedule 135 job. My current QOL is pretty good but I've got a newborn now and being away 8 days is a long time these days.

Any info is greatly appreciated!
