Those schedules show block hours and duty hours, which do you get paid? I'm guessing block but some were like 30 to 60.

Block. Assuming this TA passes, we'll have 2:1 duty rig.

Straight RSV with 13 days off (no idea how that happened, slow month I guess). 9 are singles. I wish it was just Sat. I could deal with that.

Only upside to that is with RSV days scattered all over its harder for them to send you off somewhere. But still...shouldn't have to deal with how overly creative CS can get.

The ones with 30-60 are mixed lines that pay the higher of guarantee or block plus 3.5 per reserve day.

Having said that, I have 18 days off in August. This includes 2 days that I just outright dropped. I'm flying the minimum hours.

I have four 3 day off blocks, one 2 day off block, and four single days off. One thing though, I'm in a base with multiple aircraft, this makes a big difference. My guess is bases with a single aircraft? probably have worse schedules that make it difficult even for those who do not commute.

I'm in a 2-fleet base and the AB guys get all kinds of sweet schedules!! I'm guessing that when we go single-fleet, the vacation and days-off picks will be much nicer!! But our mileage may vary

Another thing about schedules - you can bypass upgrade & in most bases you'll be a senior FO within a couple years and have a much better QOL than if you upgrade. The legacies are full of such cases. No one at Allegiant forces you to upgrade.

70-80% pass tomorrow. Friday is the quarterly earnings conference call (how conveniently timed!) and there will be some big announcements about airbus purchases, and rapid draw-down of the MD80 fleet.
