I was hoping a few of the more well adjusted members on this forum can answer some questions I have about working conditions.
What do your trips look like? At mid range seniority, how many days off per month? How long for an A320 in BOS? How does RSV work? Are there any minimum hours of pay per day? Can someone (or a few people) post their schedule or direct me to where I can view some samples? Maybe a bidding packet. Thank you
Feel free to answer in the forum as I'm sure others have similar questions.
I'll let guys with more depth of experience answer the other questions, but as for the hours of pay per day... there is no minimum. The rigs that will normally come into play are the 5:00 minimum duty period credit and 1:3.5 trip rig. Many three day trips have two duty periods, and many four day trips have three duty periods, resulting in 10-hour three days and 15-hour four days. If one was unlucky/junior enough to only be awarded those types of four day trips, it would take 20 work days to reach a 70-80 credit window, which is normal during slow months.
