Depends on time of year and your home base vs what side of country you are on for that rotation. 90% of the time you find out your next days scheduale around 3-5pm. It’s subject to change but usually you will know the evening before. Yes they absolutely respect the 6 days off. Now sometimes they will offer premium pay but it’s not a mandate. If it’s not worth it to you, you can go home and won’t hear one word about it. They know they work us hard but they do respect are time off. I can’t even find one pilot that has ever said they purposely forced them to work an extra day.
Very cool, thank you. Yes 8/6 sounds just fine especially since they’re adamant that travel is done on days 1 & 8. So 6 days off is truly 6 days off. Most of what I’m able to find is neutral to positive with very few complaints. That’s as close to a glowing recommendation as you’ll find on the internet!
