Regarding aircraft assignment
#51
Occasionally the pattern will be erratic either morning or afternoon, like a week of 5 turns, then a week of 3, then a week of 4.
For SDF reserve, it is fleet dependent but there are patterns that are week on/off (7/7 or 8/6), some patterns working three blocks with a full week off somewhere, and occasional patterns of short blocks every week. Sometimes there are 14-day RSV blocks, but those tend to be more prevalent for MD11 and SDFZ than Bus or SDF 757.

From what I've heard, day turn lines and reserve lines are 14 days on in a 28 day period and night turn lines are 11 days on. What are the length of trips if you arent doing turn lines? For example, ONT, SDF, MIA 75/76 are there pairings out there where you're on the road for a few days? If one is given the 747, how are those pairings out of ANC? Week on week off kind of thing?
has lots of info and links to tons more... start at page 15.

Ok sorry I'm new to this industry. What's the difference between domicile and hub?

Domicile is a crew base where crews start and end their trips. A hub is an airport where an airline's operations predominantly operate for the hub and spoke method. A hub is often a crew base too, but not always.
