Thanks for the response!
Turn / local /out and back all the same thing. You go out do 2 or 3 or 4 legs back to base with no overnight. Some people call it day trips too

I thought turns were always one leg out and one back in the same day. 3 legs is a triangle and I don’t even want to think about 4 in a day so I have no idea on that one.

Wanna go with “Rhombus”? It always was my favorite shape in geometry class. Little smushed over square with a goofy name.

Looks like hiring will be reduced this year due to the Boeing debacle… good news is they will continue classes just not as many per class.
