ABOUT $32K difference. $421 a day for the PBS. 8 and 6 is about $56k last I checked. Salary is $88k on the PBS averaging 16 days a month.


​​​​​​2- for someone who is looking to work longer stretches ON followed by longer stretches OFF which is a better suited pbs or 8&7?

PBS



3- how many average days per month do you work on pbs and 8&7?

Its 8 and 6. And you work a Wednesday to Wednesday run. Essentially week on week off.

PBS can be as short as 4 days and as long as 16. You bid generally a month and a half before so its not last minute when you find out your bid.

1- if on go home day, you would prefer to airline to another city which is a base but not your assigned base is this something that could be arranged or worked out? For example, based in MIA and I would like to airline to JFK for personal off reasons then I would ensure to be ready back at MIA for the start of my next rotation.


You can submit for a temp base change if you'd like. I believe you get 2 or 3 a year. Rules change.



Thanks ahead for any answers
