The good news is 3 of those months will be training so the commute should be over before you know it.

I’m looking at potentially leaving my 135 for F9. I have the CJO in hand. Does anyone know the different trips out of LAS? I’d be commuting from SAN so preferable 4 day trips that are commutable. Any and all input is appreciated.

Any rumors on what the flying out of PHX will look like? Thanks.

Out of 691 pairing options there was a grand total of 20 4 day trip options. Just under 3% of a chance. Results will vary from base to base.

What percentage of LAS trips are turns?

I made the move from 135 and have really been pleased with that decision. I strive to work as little as possible and am pretty successful at only working about 10 days a month.

The LAS trips are a bunch of day turns or Redeyes for the junior crowd. There are a ton of commuters in LAS from PHX, Cali, ect so you would be competing with them. Unfortunately your 4 day dream is currently not gonna happen in LAS. However, you can back up two trips pretty easily to create a 3/4/5 day rotation that is commutable both sides but with a LAS layover in the middle.

As far as PHX trip makeup nobody has any idea that I know of. But if/when it does open it will suck a bunch of people out of Vegas and help the seniority there. That should help just in time for you to show up at LAS.

Miami has a less than 5 hr block to duty rate. Lots of unproductive trips...

*footnote to the above

About 20% of the 2 days are just one duty period (ie turns), leave one day but duty off past 11:59pm.

I think it's all the van rides between MIA and FLL, and ORD and MDW
