Ya know, I recieved a phone call that day from a mutual friend of mine and Jetlife. It was precautionary, educational, and well intentioned. I called the number he gave me, cleared my flying (which was not out of CVG and therefore not of any concern to the union). I had peace of mind, and I thank my friend.

Do you read Jetlife's comments the same way? I think not.

Call me a cheerleader, say I'm looking though rose colored glasses, blah blah. There are certain things that are what they are. We fly old planes, we don't have a Union, our former owner agreed with the terms of a third party who proposed an agreement for a time building program in our right seat, and we still honor that agreement. There is also a pilot shortage going on, which ( especially this time of year) affects our QOL.

On the other hand, we have a new owner and management. They have increased our pay significantly, and have steadily brought in planes for GPS upgrades. Are we going to spit on them for their efforts? Is countering false notions from Trolls a bad thing? Let's think about it folks.

It is one of the harder schedules. Very early show times, late returns, get your legal rest at the outstation. Lots of high time runs.

Not to mention a 24 hour or so sit in the outstation on sunday nights. Basically you're "home" in CVG from friday night until sunday afternoon. If you're doing the DHL flying. The LMI flying was a bit better schedule, but numerous long days for the 227 guys.

So you basically do the run starting Sunday and get back to Cvg Friday, without getting back home in between for that specific run? Are there others runs out of Cvg that get you back home every night?

Technically you get home every night except Sunday. But that "being home" is from about midnight till 4AM. So depending on how far you live from the base, you really aren't home. If we can ever get the staffing, then that run becomes a Su-Tu and W-F run with two pilots. They had it that way for a while recently until one of them quit.

The LMI runs aren't home every night either. Often you are out for a few days at a time.
