Then was displaced out of said base subsequently and forced to just wait for a spot to open back up to get back in (with no hiring and little if any movement). If the company gets its way and doesn't hire again for years then jumping ship to do 4 days again will be vastly superior to being TDY'd involuntarily for half the year. Hopefully hiring resumes at some point but if its slow then be cautioned your experience could be similar Sorry |
Sure would be nice to have something in the contract to limit the amount of involuntary tdys in a year. Going to be hard to attract and retain people if you're away from home months at a time. Could always hope they keep vbd. That would be a win for those who want that lifestyle and keep those who want to be home at home.

What kind of override pay do you get for TDY, if any? per diem I assume?

That sucks. I won't be disrespectful like justwatching and say sucks to be junior, but in your shoes, I'd consider spirit. Their contract blows ours away now, and they are still growing, getting new planes. Until Maury retires, this company isn't going anywhere. You may realistically be stagnant for the next 2-3 years the way things are going here. If you're at the bottom of this list, you really have nothing to lose by leaving, and a lot to lose by hanging on.

A different perspective here. I'm a senior FO in a larger base. I bid minimum hours. I work only Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. In my base, Tuesday is a low flying day, only a handful of flights. Occasionally I can't get Tuesday so I instead work M-W-Th. On average this works out to 11-12 days of work per month.
Since I live in base, having a single day off here and there is just fine with me. |
