I can move this to a new forum, wasn't sure where it was more appropriate.

I kinda figured this was blatantly outside of the regs. We get the normal "hourly" rest when on trips, meaning 14 on 10 off, that is never a problem.

The issue lies in the fact that unless we request days off, we are never told whether we are officially on or off duty by company. We don't fly a ton, but company still expects us to be on call for duty every day "just in case". For example, we can receive a random drug and alcohol test anytime, since we never know when or if we are offically off duty, unless we request a "day off" which counts towards vacation/sick days. This company is used to managed aircraft with 3+ pilots, meaning rotating schedules, since we only have 2 pilots they can't rotate us, and expect us to be always ready.

When asked about rest days, the usual company response is "well you didn't fly 5 days last week", this is true but those 5 days we COULD have been called out to fly...


I''m dying to leave, but i'm only 5 months in to a year training contract. The other pilot already has resumes out there.

Its sad since the 91 owners are great guys and give us a schedule
