Could someone comment on a typical 17 day schedule for a junior FO. How many days actually flying, sitting in hotels, where, day or night flying, etc.. Do you get to keep your airline miles for travel,? I appreciate a response, you can PM me if you would rather discuss privately. I'm looking for the good and the bad to make an informed decision.
I probably averaged 8-9 days of flying a month. The rest you sit in a hotel (or more accurately go out drinking). When you do 15-30 hour duty days you fly both day and nite, in the same duty period. You keep your miles.
