Week in the life of a regional FO
I’m considering a career change and trying to gauge what life would be like working as a regional FO without seniority. Please let me know your thoughts on a week in the life of a regional FO:
While flying, do you generally feel fatigued and burnt out? Or, enthusiastic and 100% focused?
Do you find the actual flying engaging or boring?
Do you generally like most other pilots you work with? Do you think some pilots are jerks?
What is it like on a day off? Despite being a walkaway job, do you need time to decompress and feel like a normal person?
Do you have time to explore the cities you fly to?
How many legs do you fly per day?
Let me know any other thoughts on being a regional FO.
