If, for instance, you live near CVG and can hold the CVG DHL lines (there are only 8 lines, but they usually tend to go more junior), you'll enjoy 14 or 15 days off out of every 28, depending on whether or not you're on a split line. That comes to between 182 or 195 days off for the calendar year, depending on whether you bounce between "normal" and split lines throughout the year.


A lot of our Amazon lines start in ABE, DFW, ONT, SMF, or SEA. A few in TPA or PHX. Of those, many end in the same place that they started. Some end elsewhere. But, either way, if you live near any of those cities, you'll also generally enjoy 13 of 28 days off, or 169 for the year. More in many cases.



As far as downloading available CBAs... reading someone's unfamiliar CBA and being able to figure out how it actually works are two different animals. Talking with someone about how it works in real life is generally helpful in getting "educated". On the other had, someone who comes here to spew misinformation because someone doesn't want to be correct and does want to create a negative impression is intolerable (not aimed at you at all, flyr!).
Taking a job in the ACMI sector thinking that current routes will have you laying over at home is foolish. Routes are constantly shifting. If you want to be home every night....work for Allegiant and move to your base.
