The constant flips from early to late and back combined with the constant time zone changes and multiple legs per day will wear you down quickly.

Schedule swapping is allowed within certain parameters. You can also request a "tour slide". I have requested three slides this year and have been denied all three times. Others have had better results. You can request alternate travel to another destination at the end of your tour. You can then use up to 90% of the ticket value that they purchased for you to travel wherever you want. You always have to start your tour in your base.

I get that. We operate the same way but with one more day on and one less day off. If our planes are not flying we are not generating revenue. And now with the introduction of jetsmarter its rare if we get an empty repo leg to ourselves.
Just reading over your profile on apc tho I see way more ways to make money @ NJ than my company, albeit the long @ss up grade time compared to ours. You guys have so much more soft pay to add to your salary than we do.
To me seem like if you want a career at a place where you have the schedule and home basing NJ is the place to go, compared to many of the other options for private flying.
