Most of us plan for at least 17+ days a month; the average this year for one pilot is 19 days and not by request. Out of the 12 day rotation, depending on the equipment, plan at least 6 nights away and that doesn't include a few 10 hour rests at home (laundry stop).

The bright side is that the company grows, the checks always clear the bank, and the equipment/maintenance is great.
Very interesting opinion you have here. Just three pages ago, you posted this.....

Acting that you were from the outside. Why are you trolling like this? If you are unhappy with something in house, then quit or voice your opinion to those who can try to make changes.
You make no point with your description of the sked. We are open with our target of 18 days a month working and yes there are times where 6+ nights away are possible. What point are you trying to make?
