Dude,
This is a loaded set of questions. Schedules vary. I try to work as little as possible, but that works for my situation. I fly a different jet than 69% of the other Delta guys/gals. They fly different jets than 69% of their peers.
Some equipment pays more, some less. Some equipment gets a lot of double time pay ("Green Slips, or GS" in Delta terminology.)
Some equipment never gets that. Some pilots hawk the open time board and fill their month to FAR stoppage. Some, like me, try to help those guys by dropping trips.
Can you make more than APC listed rates? Sure. But our work paradigm is different than SWA or AS, or any other carrier I can think of. It's just different.
Best of luck,
Vinny
