So if your current airline has the days off for lines split like this (shortened for space):
10 days off - 50% of all lines
12 days off - 25%
13 days off - 20%
14+ days off - 5%
It may end up looking like this:
10 days off - 100%
As long as you are on reserve it wont mean anything to you though.
There is plenty of airlines out there with contracts that have 12 hour rule already and they get 18 days off... When I worked at XJT they max scheduled day was 13.5 hrs of duty and yet we had more days off than other regionals without that provision. All this talk about reducing the days off is just managment scare tactics and you suckers are faling for it.
