Is there a minimum you’re expected to work? I don’t need flight time so would prefer to let the junior guys get more hours.
You bid by seniority for bases and the for lines within the base. The schedule is predetermined by the line. From there you can swap or shift give with the cooperation of your base mate, which in small places is just the guy/gal that works the other half of the week covering that base (usually outstation).
Billings is a bit more flexible due to centralized basing, but same basic idea.
So not really, the flying has to be covered. There are on call pilots but I don’t believe they are generally new hires.
