I had an instructor tell me he probably averaged 100-110 hours/month...is 85 the minimum or the norm? It sounds pretty darn lucrative - perfect job or not.
Is there a swap board of sorts to move your schedule around?
85 is the minimum and normal. You can try to GS on your off days, but you go after ALL line pilots in base. You can not WS on off days.
there is no swap board. But you can cold call bro’s and ask for a switch if you NEED it.
no one is going to take your A or E unless it’s an emergency though
