If you're outstation based, you fly the same schedule every week. If you live in the city with the base, it can change every week. There is a stipulation in the employee handbook about taking "personal" days if you need them.
Many pilots try to get reserve duty on the days they have appointments or other duty, but unlike 121 airlines, reserve at Ameriflight can be the senior bid, because you still get paid the same for the day, whether you fly or not.
