Their raw lines look like they average about 85-90 TFP and work about the same amount of days (13-17). I know... then they start their part-time job of schedule adjustment, which seems like it's a full time job sometimes. Always checking their phone, always trading trips. Even when they have a good schedule, with days off, they are always flying extra. The big question is "what do you block in a year?" That average line I was talking about (15 days off/75 CH) blocks about 38 hours. You guys like to say that you work hard but get more days off, but I just don't see it looking at what my friends' schedules look like. My I have a small population for my data. Four.
Hey, fwiw you may want to tell your friends to call SWAPA. Min days off here is 15 and 90tfp AND that is for a reserve (lowest initial credit with most working days).
Additionally, there is no way your "friends" are working 17 days with a credit of 85-90. If you work 17 days here my guess is the credit is somewhere in the 140-160tfp if not more.
I guess they were right, flying the back side of the clock can get to you...
Four?
