My question is schedules.
What’s a monthly really look like? From what I’ve been able to gather it looks like 14 to 17 days off a month. I’ve also read that it’s more like two on two off. I understand base seniority etc. changes a lot but for a junior F0, what should I expect? With the two on two off scenario commuting would be nearly impossible wouldn’t it?
Thanks
To expand on this, schedules vary drastically by base. If you want the most days off, best schedules, the trick is getting senior in a small base like IND/OAK with only 1-2 airplanes. If your in Vegas, your not getting many weekends off no matter your seniority as almost all of our flying is Thurs/Fri and Sun/Mon.
