I am wondering if some people can shed some light on how their company's scheduling system works. I have a bunch of buddies at XJT who have 6 months seniority (which I know is quite a bit with the hiring) and have schedules with like 18 days off a month and still getting paid for 85-90 hours and have another buddy who works for Skywest and only has 13 days off and is only getting paid 75 hours. I am the application stage and really don't have a clue of how each company does its scheduling. Are all the systems pretty much uniform or are there big differences between them? I don't really hear this mentioned much, but I would think it could either drastically improve or diminish QOL if you had a good or bad scheduling system. My buddies at express seem to be able to trade trips and arrange their schedules adequately enough to suit their needs (drinking), and my other buddy at SKW seems to never be able to get the days off that he wants. Any info would be appreciated. By the way, I already have my app in at XJT but have been hearing that they won't be doing any more hiring until Jan. I am going to be applying at RAH and SKW as soon as I meet the mins
