-11-19 days off. 17 for November, 75 hours
-with the increase in hiring, I doubt max hours except for maybe junior CAs.. Just a guess
-2 legs, probably 10% = 4 legs but I don't bid them; work too hard running the QRH for 4 legs.. just kidding, sometimes.
Holy crap, how did you get 17 days off?
I am a junior line holder and for next month I got a line worth 70 hours. They filled in reserve assignments between trips until they reduced me to the minimum of 11 days off. I have a three day stretch, otherwise single days off. The worst though is I have morning flights until my last day then I have a late flight that gets in around 11pm. Then a 0600 show two days later, just to make a commute impossible.
There are guys like BlueHenFR8 that get 17 days off, that get the days they want, and get the trips they want. I don't know how. Maybe real senior. Maybe they found the secret to Merlot. That is the worst part, you get a horrible line of scraps where they put reserve in to make you min days off, then tell you that it is your fault for not understanding Merlot.
