The worst days are 1 and 8. Getting to and from and getting out on the road is the worst. Once out it isn't too bad. Some guys get hammered while another crew has it easy. All depends on where you are and what the schedule demands.

New hire classes start up in January. As long as you have instrument skills you will be fine. Some guys get through the interview and training only to fall apart on the road flying wise. Don't do that. It's bad. Some guys have come from VFR only backgrounds or not a lot of recent experience and it does not bode well. Just like anywhere you fly IFR. People tend to downplay the two pilot single engine turboprop job...you work just as hard as the Boeing in front of you and the learjet behind you....the only difference is nobody values your experience.
