Ive flown 14 hours all of october. But I’ve been called to sit standby a few times as well. What’s standby you ask? It is this amazing thing where you sit in our asbetos riddled crew room in LGA for 8 hrs a day awaiting schedulings call to go do a YUL turn. There is virtually no limit to how often you can be assigned this, there is no pay override and standby is assigned in reverse seniority order everyday. You WILL be assigned this often! There are 8 standby shifts per day in NYC.

Unless you are coming here to check the 121 PIC box and move on in 6 months, there is nothing in the works that says this is a good place to be going forward for the long term.

Plan to sit more than fly....
