They just schedule each pilot as close to the maximum hours allowable (FAA max 100 hrs/mth) as possible. Expect to be scheduled to 95+ hours. 11 days off.

Beacuase the reserves are in the negative, meaning no reserves, and uncovered flying, you don't have the ability to make any changes to your schedule. You get what you get.

Trying to get big blocks of days off probably won't work in this short staffed environment.

300% is being offered. But because you are scheduled to the max, there is no room to pick any 300% flying up.

Are upgrades to CA really happening in 12 months? NO

Medical insurance for a family of 4 will be approx $1200/Mth out of your paycheck.

Hope this helps.
Ok thank you Skyler, that information is very helpful.
