Well here is how that can work. Fly a four day, get Junior manned for a two day with ten hours of rest in base. There you just worked six days in a row. If you live in base you get home long enough to swap out your skivvies, give the wife a quick thrill, the kids and/or the dog a pat on the head, and maybe get six hours of sleep before heading back to work. If you are a commuter, then its the commuter hotel, call the wife and explain how you won't be home to fix the toilet for two more days, listen to her complain about your ridiculous job and why TSA can't get its crap together, and off to bed.

Or, better yet you work a four day with a late release and supposed to have your six days off, they give you a day off, junior you for a four day with an early show, and give you another day off before starting your next trip. If you live in base OK, if you commute, you probably won't get home for two weeks.

This isn't an exaggeration. This kind of crap is going on now and the company is pushing junior manning to the limit.

I'm not saying don't come here. The pilot group is great and the CPs are good guys. But you will work your arse off. If you are single and don't have nor want a life, its liveable. But if you have a wife and kids it makes it very, very hard particularly if you commute.

They claim it will be fixed by summer, but I will believe it when I see it.
