I haven’t done anything further south then Mexico City, and no Africa for me. Not that I’ve tried to avoid it, but I yellow slip trips that start late and or end early if I can so I can commute. There are plenty of 4 days that start with a 0600 check in, but I haven’t been doing many. I get bumped to short call often rather then sitting long call.
I was fortunate enough to get this category as a new hire this spring and haven’t regretted my choice yet.
What would you say is you average days off per month? Average pay credit per month? For someone who doesn't want to sit endles days in a crash pad and wants to actually fly do you recommend the category? Thanks.
