Do lines that include Prime flying go junior?
If/when PBS arrives, do you think it will be possible to pick/exclude one type of flying or the other based on preference?
For a 6 day cargo trip, what do those block? Is the pay about even with block or is it better due to trip rig or duty rig?
Also, after 6 days is it just a minimum 1 day off before the next assignment?
The Prime flying, just looking at Flightaware and taking an educated guess, seems to be turns @ AFW and LAL with some of the outstations being:
PDX
ORD
TOL
PIT
BDL
JFK
RIC
CLT
How does the Prime schedule compare to the pax business? Is it better for commuters? or worse?
How would being on reserve relate to the Prime flying vs reserve @ MSP?
Trying to build a better mental image of Sun Country and if it would be a good fit for me.
Thanks in advance
Lately they've sprinkled Amazon flying into most lines. Some pax, some cargo. So junior or senior, there are lines that are mixed, with the exception of the really senior lines, which have mostly pax day turn trips.Originally Posted by wornTiller
Turns are disappearing - which MSP locals will dislike... But are commuters indifferent? One would think less day turns would be better for commuters, but maybe with line bidding, everyone got what they wanted?Do lines that include Prime flying go junior?

Amazon flying used to be great for commuters, with offline deadheads on many of the front and backs, but nowadays I usually start with a pax flight out to an Amazon hub, then fly a few freighter flights, with a pax flight home. I think the 1 day off after 6 is only because of FAA rest rules, not a contractual set of days after X days on the road.
