I would hate ending up with 12 day off months do to low credit 3-4 days.
I know they are working on min day credit but realistically what would it have to be to not take a hit on time at home.
I'm honestly more fatigued sitting around at hotels "resting" not home then if I were working hard them going home for a good stretch
Sorry if its been covered before I haven't seen it please don't yell at me capt tony
Not sure of why they would address anything at all. I can honestly think of many months in the past when we were overstaffed etc. and my schedule was made up of (four) 4 days and my credit was somewhere around 73-74hrs. Like 16-18hr 4 days. Was pretty weak but no one said anything and I didn't hear any griping. Think about all of they guys on reserve. They gotta work ALOT to break guarantee. Sure they do it, but with like 12-13 days off.
I'd assume it will be about the same when things change. A bunch of guys willing to do ANYTHING to fly a jet. Even if that means having less days off and less pay. You'll see. No one will care. As long as they get their jet to fly and brag to family members at holidays that they are a "pilot". Why waste the email?
