Everything is constantly changing. Captains are getting max duty and min days off with less than ideal schedules.

FOs have a bit more staffing so better schedules closer to 76 hours a month are possible.

The company did not want to give any QOL stuff in the contract. The ideal schedule for them is have a pilot come in early and get home late. You come in and fly two turns blocked at about an hour each leg with a long sit in between the two turns where the company can reflow you or change something all while paying the MDG of 412. Rinse and repeat about 18 days a month.

As a an FO that rode the seniority wave to the top I can bid about 90 hours a month on efficient 4 day trips and locals to get 15 days off, but that is not the case for the new people.
