I do 10 days away from home this month. Day 1 and 10 are both on duty paid travel days, leaving 8 days to work. I have 3 flights and 2 deadheads in those 8 days. My days off will be in Fort Worth, Salt Lake, and Ontario CA this this month. There is no crash pad, there is no jumpseating to/from work. We keep the air miles and most hotel points. If there's no Hotel van, or car service booked, they put on our schedule to use the company Uber account. If we're in an airport over 4 hours we use the company credit card and go to the admirals club. If we international deadhead over 3 hours it's business class or better, or you can take extra pay to ride coach. First year pay here is $124ph at a 64 hour min guarantee.... or $95.2k to start. Top step CA is $297ph. I've been home since the 21st of last month..... you? Try it before you knock it.
Dera and TC both made good moves.
4 day trips are long enough for me. I enjoy home way too much to be on the road in a germ infested hotel taking a toll on my health. I have seen first hand on how fast cargo peeps age. I think once the flood gates are open to the legacies these cargo carriers will be drone operation outfits.
