I knew from talking to other pilots that Aramco was trying to renegotiate lower pay and less time off for their existing pilots. I did not know NAS/NJME was following suit. Hopefully this European debt crisis doesn't blow up and we make a steady recovery. In a couple of years that will pinch all these companies that are taking advantage of the current situation.

By the way, it never was month on month off. 35/31 was as good as it got and they flew you home on your first day off so it was really 36/30. Extrapolate that out and you are gone 7 months out of the year with 5 off and you had to complete all your training on your off time.

NJME seems an interesting job/career. It is the details that may not be noticed until you start.
