Due to my unusual schedule lately, which is normal for Atlas (it is normal to have odd things happen with your schedule), I have operated 13 legs for the months Nov 2021 - Mar 2022 (2 Nov, 3 Dec, 8 Jan, 0 Feb, 0 Mar).
Example of other abnormalities:
One normal length work pattern with 4 Operating Legs, and 12 deadhead airline passenger legs.
1 Day trip, Several 2 day trips, MULTIPLE 3, 4, 5 day trips.
3 trips over 30 days (because I wanted the last two weeks of the next month off, so I volunteered for two back-to-back trips.
One week of holiday, I moved, which gave me 24 days off in a row.
Schedule Changes during your pattern: My experience is that about 1/3 of the time, your new sched is worse, 1/3 of the time it is about the same, and 1/3 of the time it is better.
I VERY rarely have a 17 day schedule. We are guaranteed 13/14 days off/month. BUT, some lines have 15 or 16 days off. 17 days off...maybe, I don't recall seeing one of those.
Note:
We do NOT have Bid Line Guarantee, as some of you may have seen in the new contract. SOME lines are pay protected, SOME lines are not. AND, if you call in sick, and you had a Bid Line that was pay protected, you lose that pay protection. One of the many things that is **** about Atlas' new contract.
