The 7/7 is less desirable from a financial standpoint; however, I’m hearing more chatter about individuals entertaining it due to so little control over scheduling, short period off, and grueling schedule while in the road. FJ is VERY focused on growth, which is a great thing, but many pilots are pushed past the point of exhaustion. Just the different time zones are enough to cause people little rest. If starting on the west coast, then an 0600 wake up in the east coast is exhausting. That being said, in many respects it is a wonderful company, but don’t think it won’t be some of the hardest work you will do.
