All the bases have seeming gone back to lots of overnights...at least for now. I personally haven’t seen more than two nights home in a rotation in over a month now. That said, I flew with someone who hasn’t seen an overnight in four months.
Due to the smaller size of Phoenix at this time, I’d assume lots of overnights however I understand they want to grow it quickly and with that I would imagine much more time at home. We still bid universally, not for specific bases, so it makes the staffing of bases fluctuate on a weekly basis. Meaning if the majority of OAK people’s schedules lined up to be off, you can count on a lot of OAK overnights. In fact, either way you can count on a lot of OAK overnights.
Training takes about a month start to finish maybe a little more. I believe It will still be the full initial even if you are typed on the aircraft though this could be wrong.
