I've been almost 5 years, commuter & am real busy withthe kiddos, coaching sports, class room volunteering, ..., but i work 110 - 115 tfp / month, which works out to 80 or so blocks hours. Rarely do i vja/ja/(no pp yet), i usually pick up commutable scraps, some ef.
It's a good life, awesome job! Work as much or as little as you want / need.
Schedule flexibility IMO is the number one way to keep pilots happy. It's to bad ALPA and the legacy boys can't seem to figure this out! I am either stuck working crappy unproductive 89 hour months with 12 days off and flying a S.L. of all nighters or I am stuck at min hours and can barely pay my bills.
What I'd give to actually be in control of my life and my pay check!! What a concept.
