There are no schedules at USA jet just days off or on. all the flying is on demand 30 min from phone ring to airport type deal. I can't stress that enough. You literally have no idea an hr before you rotate that you were even going to fly. So being up all day called at night for a trip that's pretty normal. You learn to take naps all day and deal with it or you leave. Days off vary from all 13 in a row to blocks of three or four throughout the month. you bid what you want and get what what you get. There's vacation health insurance and 401 k. a new fo on the dc9 will probably do low 50s without trying after our raise. Upgrade is anyone's guess. could be 3 yrs could be never that depends a lot on the direction the company goes in the future. They currently dont have a plan as far as I know.
