B767ER FO
I've been at Delta about nine months, I'm around 400 out of 468 on the ER in JFK. I commute from the midwest to JFK, a relatively easy commute. This month, I worked 14 days and got 80 hours of pay. I was on reserve for a month and a half, then I've had a line since. I never spent the night in my crashpad, my schedule was thus:
2 day of carry-in from previous month
5 off
six day trip
4 off
3 day trip
4 off
3 day trip
3 off
Two of the three trips went to places I asked for, I had every Sunday off and everything was commutable.
As for rearranging the schedule, because we are short of reserves, right now, it's hard to move trips between days, but very easy to swap trips if they fall on the same days. I swapped two of my three trips for different destinations, using the automated system. I put my request in, and on the next run of the computer (it runs three times a day) my swap was approved.
I have no complaints about my QOL.
