I have been asked to work on hard days and have, I also turned it down cause I had plans. In Spet and Oct I think I was home in my bed only on my hard days off, in Nov I have been mostly on day trips. I put in for a couple days off in May of 2014 and was granted the time off even though I was scheduled to be in recurrent indoc. Please understand if you come to work here you will work your ass off! There are a lot of upsides to this job as well. Please do your research before you apply. If it's for you then go for it if not don't waste your time. I enjoy the job 90% of the time and always seem to fly with great people. Also understand that you will be seat locked for a year, I don't agree with this but I don't make policy either.
