With the move to the 8/6 schedule, do you anticipate pilots spending less time at home during the 8 days on?
Good question! 15 PTB days for those on the 10/5, 12 PTB days for those on the 8/6. You start accruing PTB days upon hire, and can use them whenever you would like.
Like Runsky42 stated, you can pick-up extra days flying for us, or outside of EAS. I anticipate that the move to 8/6 will keep the pilots flying every day, with about half of those being overnights, settling at 10-12 nights away from home per month.
