I'm DFW Saab and usually bid 2 day back to back trips and sometimes 3 day trips so it is either 4 or 3 off or 3 on 3 off. Depends on what schedule works best for me and what has the best transition. This month the schedules were kind of screwed up so I do 2day trips for the first half of the month, 1 week off, and then a 2 day followed by a 1 day trip for the next 2 trips.

Pay at eagle is about average. If I switch to the jet I'll make about $600 more per month but I will also go back to being on reserve with only 11 days off and who the hell knows what kind of schedule. I got lucky when I got on when I did because I only had to sit reserve on the Saab for 1 month and have had a line ever since (except when I puposely bid for a composite line). If you do go to eagle I strongly suggest going turboprop for the first year...after all it is the same pay but you will hold a line much faster (about 3 months now I think). I could intermittenly hold a line on the CRJ in DFW now and would be almost at the bottom of the ERJ. I dont know what the standing in the other bases is because that is not where I want to go. For the time being, I am staying Saab. After all, who wants to do another long term training event?
