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.

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.

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!
