Thanks for your perspective.
It really just depends. Most of my 7n7 schedules had about 12 to 18 hours of flying in them. Some had less and a few had more. There have been a few tours I was worked hard the whole tour, but 5 to 10 hours of overtime helps soften the blow. Depending on your fleet of course. My typical week before going to the 18 day fixed was about 3 or 4 days flying with the day 1 and day 7 being airlines.
Great place for me and I don't think SWA could lure me away right now. I would have to think long and hard about it though, but I enjoy it here and there are many advantages to being NJ right now.
Cheers!
