On the charter side, it seems a lot of stuff goes to IFP. Are there months where a line can only have a pilot doing charter stuff and spend a lot of nights there? What's the maximum trip lengths on the charter side?
Thanks for any info.
Its a hodgepodge. Yes...many trips are coastal turns, and sometimes overnights. Trips are anywhere from a turn and back home, to 4-5 days. So far all the destinations have been fun, with plenty to do (if you so desire). Most of my overnights have been in BOS, DCA, RST, LAS, LAX, and SAN. Charter stuff...well you never know what you will get. Now we are getting into college football season so destinations are anyones guess. Regarding IFP...I know guys that hit IFP twice a month (and oddly love it due to some of the activities there...pubs, jet ski rental, casino) and others that have only been there once in months.
YMMV.
