Definitely not true re the 5 on 2 off for sims. Especially during the holidays. Maybe I was just lucky? 😉
I upgraded last December/ January. My schedule was:
3 on/ 2 off
3 on/ 3 off
2 on/ 2 off
2 on/ 1 off (Christmas)
3 on/ 2 off
1 on/ 1 off (New Years day)
4 on/ 2 off
5 on/ LOE passed- end of course
Here is what the contract says:
9-F-6 A Pilot shall have no more than five (5) training days in any seven (7) consecutive days, and shall be scheduled for at least one (1) period of at least two (2) consecutive days off every two (2) weeks. For purposes of this Section 9-F-6, a travel day is neither a training day nor a day off.
