On the flip side, sometimes I have to be in base by 5:00 am to catch a 6:00 flight which means an early bed time and a 3am wake up the next morning. On go-home day I can sometimes catch an early flight out and be home before my wife and kids in the afternoon on day 8. It all just depends on the crew transitions and the schedule demands for that day. Once, I was lucky enough to get assigned to airplane that went AOG in base and so I got to sit at home for an extra day.
More golden info! Yeah, the 8/6 is really the only thing that makes me a touch concerned. But, on balance, seems like a solid option outside the regionals.Thanks Multi!
