3. I just made 95 hours on reserve with 12 days off and spent all 12 of those days at home. I left at 10pm the day before and usually made it home somewhere between 4pm-10pm on my last work day.
but my goodness, 10 days off and you only make minimum monthly guarantee?
You obviously fail to realize what a hispeed/CDO line as the poster referred to is. There is no realistic way of having a CDO line with more than 11, maybe 12 days off, and more that 60 block hours. I myself am in the top 15% overall seniority, yet I only have 10 days off and 40 block hours of flying, 75 credit with my CDO line. Why? Because the first and last day of each week is basically a day off for a guy like me that lives in base. Start work at 7:30 pm day 1, and I'm off 8:00 am last day. Over a 4 week period that is basically 8 more days off as far as I'm concerned. So I have basically 18 days off for guarantee min pay. I could work my ass off and do 3 or 4 4-day trips for 90 and 16-18 full days off but for me it's not worth the extra time away from home.
disclaimer....Oh and before anyone goes and puts words in my mouth, my post nowhere in here praises pinnacle or their management, it simply states I sometimes enjoy my schedule.....
