I figure whatever the deal is, I can put up with some crap for 2 or 3 years.
Lately, 14 days off no matter how senior you get. Doesn't matter where you are based, you will go through EWR for 3/4 of your trip, meaning delays, cancellations, and min rest overnights. EWR crews do EWR flying, and IAD crews do EWR flying. Crew scheduling will pull your flying, make you sit reserve for over 8 hours, and give you a later release time or min rest. C5 continually is short staffed, meaning lots of extensions. if the CPP works out, maybe its doable for a few years. If not, stay away.
