My background:
2050 TOTAL
1100 Mil R/W
775 PIC
660 ME turboprop (pt 121)
The Home Based schedule is 2 weeks on/2 off/2 on/1 off. The 18/12 schedule was how HBC were originally scheduled when we first started the position. We changed it toward the end of last year because it works out a lot better with operating schedules.
