Some lines are 20 on 10 off, some lines have 6 to 8 days off per block. You bid a 2 months cycle with a total of now 21 days off. It's all very random if you go over guarantee or not. The trips are being scheduled not that far in advance, so you never know if your line will have trips on your off days or on days. Also quite often, since we are still short on pilots, one is being asked to work on one's off days, but you can decline without penalties.

Since we are getting 2 new birds this spring things might change in regards to how much you fly (probably more flying with less dead heads). Also heard there will be another 747 class in Jan or Feb and another 757 class after that. One rumor is that by the end of 2016 we will have two 777 on the property, not sure if cargo or PAX.
