Is the typical month 4 trips? 3 Trips? Can you drop easily?
Thanks
You can fly as little as you want, as long as you can either drop the trip or proffer it to someone else.
We have one day trips, 2 day trips, 3 day trips, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and I think 14 day trips, but I am not sure about those.
To make it simple, you typically get paid 6 or more hours per day, sometimes longer with block over 6.
Average pay is around 72 hours per 4 week month, 90 hours per 5 week month, but there is a minimum of 68 and 85 hours, even if they have to "buy up" your line.
If you fly a series of one day trips, they are linked together with a "hub-turn", so you usually fly what we call "week on, week off, but it might not actually be 7 days. Could be 6 or 8, depending on your line.
I've tried to keep this simple to answer your questions, but you can learn an awful lot by reading the previous posts.
