The only hard requirements are, 100% coverage of the left seat when the schedule is submitted and no less than 4 day rotations
We have scheduled overlaps of just 1 day up to as much as even 6 days
They don't care how much each of the three captains work. EX: May for us - 1 captain - 16 days, 1 captain - 14 days, 1 captain - 15, June - 1 Captain - 12 days, 1 Captain - 15 days, 1 captain - 14 days
It really is up to you, want to make more, work more, don't care about making more, work less.
We build our schedule, we submit that schedule, they input the schedule. Only time I have ever heard back from them about our schedule was due to a typing error of dates and they saw no overlap, hence no coverage for that day.
Unofficially I have heard that 12 is a minimum in a month, and consistently. So if you only schedule 12 every month and that is your plan to only work 12 every month of the year, and that is because of benefits. Word of mouth is less than wanting to work 12 they then consider you part time.
The floater captains are there only for the purpose of filling in for one of the 3 if 1 is going to be out for an extended period of time - Short term disability
