Overnights for Toronto base:

YUL YOW YQB YXU YQT YQM YFC YHZ YQY YYT YDF, (YSB until October)
There's also occasional overnights west of Thunder Bay, they seem to change every month. Those destinations are usually covered by YYC crews.

Layovers length varies from min rest to the occasional 30 hour layover. Average, 15 hours maybe?

About half the pairings available are 4 day pairings. Good amount of 3 days. Very few 2 days and 5 days. Some 1 day pairings mostly used for line checks.

Max 5 days. Although they like to schedule back to back 3 day pairings.

No sure how the routings are paired, but with the socialized bidding system, if someone based in YYZ and just picked YOW, YUL, YXU, YQB, YQT for their pairings/routes..would they ever have to do the flying out East or West?

There's very, very few western pairings available to Toronto crews. It's pretty rare you would get one of those pairings unless you specifically bid for it. It's more common for YYC crews to get sent to Toronto. The East coast pairings are fairly easy to avoid depending on how you bid, and there's a lot of people that bid for those because they want to avoid Toronto and Montreal as much as possible.
