Maybe it’s just me.

I'm fairly new and fly on the 8/6 schedule. I have noticed the time flys by (pun intended). By the time you get to the airplane on the first day of your rotation and leave on the 8th day, the time in between goes by really quickly. I also feel the 6 days of home goes by too quickly! I have thought about the 15/13 and would probably try it if my significant other was on board, she is not quite there. You are actually home more on the 15/13, AND (at our company) pay is more. I may try to work out a 3 month trial and see how it goes!

I should also say, most of the pilots I fly with that have kids at home prefer the 15/13 and say its better for home life
