# Career Duty Lines

> Book 2–4 connected flights, follow your next step, and earn a bonus for completing the line.

# Career Duty Lines

A **Duty Line** is an optional set of **2–4 flights** in Career Dispatch. Choose a route you like, book all its flights together, and fly them in order. Each finished flight earns normal pay. Complete the full line to earn **one extra cash bonus**.

Short lines can be flown in one sitting. Longer lines show where to take a rest and when to return. You can always see the next step in **My Flights**.

## Pick a line

1. Open **Career → Dispatch** and switch on **Duty Line**.
2. Choose **2, 3, or 4 flights** and **Continuous** or **Return to base**.
3. Pick an aircraft you can fly for your airline. Add airport or route filters if you want.
4. Choose **Comfortable** or **Tight**. You can set a **4-, 6-, or 8-hour maximum**, or choose **Any length** for longer routes.
5. Select **Generate duty line**. If you dislike the route, generate another. Nothing starts until you book.

The first flight leaves from your **current Career airport**. An offer lasts **10 minutes**. Review its route, rest stops, times, and reward before selecting **Book duty · start clock**.

| Pace | Extra cash | Ground time and finish buffer |
| - | - | - |
| **Comfortable** | Up to **25%** of eligible flight pay | **40-minute** turns (**70** for larger aircraft) and **20 minutes** at the finish. |
| **Tight** | Up to **30%** of eligible flight pay | **30-minute** turns (**55** for larger aircraft) and **10 minutes** at the finish. |

The time limit is a **maximum**, not a target. If nothing fits, try fewer flights, another aircraft, wider filters, or **Any length**.

## When the clock starts

**T+0 means the instant you book.** Generating and reviewing do not start the clock.

* **First departure:** planned for **T+25 minutes**. Push back between **T+10 and T+40** for its on-time credit. You can leave before the planned T+25 time.
* **Start flight 1 by T+40:** this is the first report deadline. Missing it ends the line and costs **0.20 reputation**.
* **Finish by:** the on-time arrival deadline. On a line with rest stops, it first applies to **Part 1**. The next part gets its own clock when you return.

The booking screen shows UTC (Zulu) dates and times. A **\~** on a later part means its date is an estimate: it assumes you return as soon as rest allows. You have more time to choose when to return, up to the displayed **Start by** time.

Flight times include extra room for taxi, routing, and typical wind changes. Your SimBrief plan may still differ; compare its **OUT-to-IN block time** with the Duty Line before you start. The line records your actual pushback and parked times.

Booking sends the flights straight to **My Flights**. You do not need to file or lock them in Calendar. Booking also starts a real clock: closing FlyHub or pausing the simulator does not pause it.

## Between flights: turn or rest?

**Flights in the same part need a ground turn, not an overnight rest.** The timetable plans a full turnaround, with time to deboard, service, and board, including with ground-service add-ons such as GSX.

| Pace | Planned turn | Larger aircraft, including the 777 |
| - | - | - |
| **Comfortable** | **40 minutes** | **70 minutes** |
| **Tight** | **30 minutes** | **55 minutes** |

The turn runs from **parked** to the next **pushback**. The **minimum** is **20 minutes** (**35** for larger aircraft); never push back sooner. If you turn faster than planned, you may push back up to **15 minutes early** and still be on time. The booking screen shows your line's planned turn.

For example, a 777 line can show **EDDP → EGNX → KCVG** as **Part 1**. The short EDDP → EGNX flight does **not** force a 12-hour stop. After parking at EGNX, prepare the aircraft and continue to KCVG after the planned turn. **Rest at KCVG** appears only if the next flight belongs to a new part.

If adding another flight would make a flying part too long, the plan shows a marked **Rest at** stop. A short connecting flight can share a part with one long flight when the combined time is reasonable. The booking review shows every part and its estimated UTC day, so you can judge the commitment before accepting it.

## Follow the line after booking

Open **My Flights** for the next route and the **What now** panel. It tells you:

* When the ground turn ends and when the next on-time pushback window opens.
* Whether your last arrival gained or lost time, and whether a bonus is still possible.
* When this part must finish, or when you may return from a rest stop.

Expand the **Duty Line** panel in Dispatch, My Flights, Active Flight, or Calendar for the full route and timeline. It separates planned times from recorded or estimated progress. Completed flights, delays, rest stops, recovery flights, and the next deadline stay together in one view. Calendar shows the current part; later dates become firm when you return from rest.

An early arrival can bring later flights **and the deadline** forward, while preserving your ground turn. Check My Flights after each flight is saved. A small early arrival usually leaves the timetable alone.

### At a marked rest stop

Park and complete the last flight of the part. Your **48-hour return window** starts from that recorded arrival. You do **not** have to come back the moment minimum rest ends.

Normally, rest at least **12 real hours**. You must also be **Fit for Duty** in Career. If you used faster sim speed, the minimum rest shown after landing may be shorter; the 48-hour return deadline and Fit for Duty check still apply. Follow the **later** of the rest-end time and Fit for Duty time shown in **What now**.

Come back and start the next flight before **Start next flight by**. FlyHub then sets that part's departure and finish times. If you miss the 48-hour window, the line ends, the unflown flights are removed, the bonus is lost, and reputation falls **0.20**. Pay for flights already finished stays yours.

Long-haul Duty Lines must be booked while you are **Fit for Duty**, because booking starts the first clock. If the booking screen asks you to rest first, check your Career condition and book a fresh offer when ready.

## Track each flight

You can use **Online Tracking** or **Offline Debrief** on console. For an offline Duty Line flight, record the actual **UTC Pushback, Takeoff, Landing, and Parked** check-ins. **Pushback** is your duty departure; **Parked** is your duty arrival and starts the next turn or rest. Enter the times when they really happened, then complete the debrief.

With Online Tracking, your arrival is recorded when you park at the gate, not when you close the flight. You can finish deboarding before closing it without losing turn time.

Fly the displayed route in order, keep the minimum ground time, and aim for a flight score of **7.5/10 or higher**. The bonus is checked after all flights have been verified. For help with the shared flight workflow, see [Online Tracking](/online-tracking) or [Manual and Offline Mode](/manual-mode).

### If you use faster sim speed

**2×, 4×, and 8×** can be used. If a flight finishes far ahead of schedule, FlyHub can move the next flight up so you are not left waiting for its old time. The normal ground turn remains. Console pilots should select the sim speed used in Offline Debrief.

A faster flight can still contribute to the line bonus, but its bonus uses **real time flown** and its on-time share is smaller. The finish share can still be earned. An on-time finish using faster sim speed does **not** award the usual reputation gain. At a rest stop, check the updated minimum rest and Fit for Duty time in My Flights.

### If you land at an alternate

If **SKBO → SKRG** lands at **SKAR**, report SKAR as your actual arrival. FlyHub adds a **SKAR → SKRG recovery flight** before your next booked flight and adjusts the deadline for the extra flying and turns. If you divert again, another recovery flight can be added.

Complete the recovery route and the original line to keep the bonus in reach. A legitimate diversion alone does not erase the bonus, but recovery flights do not increase its maximum. The Duty Line panel shows the new route and deadline.

## Pay, bonus, and results

**Normal pay:** each completed flight is paid on your usual Career payday.

**Extra cash:** one Duty Line bonus is paid after the **whole line** is checked. It is **not** a separate payment per flight. The maximum is up to **25% on Comfortable** or **30% on Tight** of eligible flight pay. For example, $1,000 of eligible pay could earn up to $250 or \$300 extra. The rate shown when you book stays with that line.

| Result | Bonus | Reputation |
| - | - | - |
| Finish on time and pass the flight checks | Up to the full bonus | **+0.10** at normal sim speed. |
| Finish late | Smaller bonus; the on-time flights can still count. | No extra late penalty. |
| End early before a missed report | No line bonus; keep pay for finished flights. | No loss. |
| Miss the first start or a 48-hour rest return | No line bonus; remaining flights are released. | **−0.20** once. |

For a line flown in one part, **40%** of the bonus rewards flights close to their planned times and **60%** rewards the final arrival. The finish share fades to zero **30 minutes** after the deadline. For a line with rest stops, the split is **70%** for flight timing and **30%** for the final part; that finish share fades over **60 minutes** late. Longer flights get a wider arrival allowance. Resting within the allowed window does not reduce the bonus.

Every flight needs valid tracking or offline check-ins, the required turn, the planned route or its recovery, and a score of at least **7.5/10**. A Duty Line bonus replaces the usual Calendar-date bonus for these flights.

After verification, My Flights shows the result, recorded UTC times, bonus, and reputation change. Results may include **Clean Line**, **Comeback**, or **Diversion recovered**.

## If you cannot continue

Use **End duty early** in the Duty Line panel before missing a start window. It releases the unflown flights. You keep pay for completed flights, with **no Duty Line bonus and no reputation loss**. Finish or reset any flight already active before ending the line.
