How full are the schedules?
Is it mostly 4 day trips with 4 leg days?
Do you have any stretches of decent time off, say like 5 to 7 days or are all trips bunched together?
Is there high attrition going on, or are people sticking around?
Are FOs earning $80k to $90k in year 1?
Thank you for sharing.
You can make them as full as you want. As for days off, My line last month gave me 6 days off in a row. Know how to bid, people can help. $100K+ is possible year 1 if you work your a** off. I’m very much on track for that right now.
