? 5 days off in a row each month???
Could someone please reply if at your regional airline, it is possible to arrange a schedule to get 5 days off in a row each month? (I am ready to make up for this by flying my ass off/sit reserve the rest of the month.)
Before you start bashing & making fun, here's the reason I ask:
My family members take turns to care for relatives who require long term care. I do my share and pitch in each month—any less than 5 days in a row, I wouldn't be pulling my weight and causes serious disruption to other family members.
My assumptions about FO work schedule kept me from applying to airlines so far—yes, I know I kinda have a "unique snowflake" situation. Tempted by the current hiring environment, I feel I might as well explore the feasibility.
Feel free to burst my bubble (kindly) with something like...No, that would never work at regional X, you would only be able to consistently get X number of days off in a row each month.
Hopefully, there might be 1 or 2 affirmative replies on how this (5 days off in a row each month) could be achieved at your particular airline (bid? trade? what contract mechanism makes it possible?). Many thanks!
