I graduated with my MD from LSU medical school and am currently doing an orthopaedic surgery residency, but want to come back and fly at Delta. I am planning to switch to an ER residency, which allows a tremendous amount of flexibility vs. ortho.

I am wondering, what is the flexibility of your schedules? Is it possible to fly only 10 days a month? I don't care about a big a cut in pay: just if it's possible to only fly 10-12 days a month. ER allows plenty of flexibility(it's shift work with the avg # of shifts/month being 10-12) vs ortho which is basically a full time gig.

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide
