I bid reserve to avoid working...so I pick a RAP time that favors that lifestyle choice since I live in base. February I was gone 3 nights...so technically six days of work...flew 3 and deadheaded 3....total block for the month was only 5.5 hrs. The reserves that go on earlier in the day work a lot more ... possibly as much as 40 hrs. I would say average overall is approx 25-30 hrs of credit.

The 4am and 7am RAPs get abused. I was 7 am for Feb and worked 60 hours. Worked about 45 in Jan. I've been here a year and just got displaced out to another base, where I can actually hold a line. Charlotte is old...

Avg 2014 new hire at AA had 5556 hrs. Civilian brings the avg up, fighters bring it down.

About 5% of the highly qualified (however that's defined) were hired. So the majority heard crickets.

The Big 4 will hire about 25-30% of the highly qualified pool in 2015. So the majority will hear crickets.

Abused? Guaranteed 76 hours and getting paid for it although you worked avg. 52.5 hours. I've been getting 7am raps here in CLT for YEARS (it was rest periods in the OLD days) and I do my job. I get to sleep a somewhat normal sleep pattern and have to be ready for.....WORK?

Really? There are guys who would LOVE to have this job and you complain about being ABUSED? No wonder no one in the Company respects the pilots.

You may want to get another job.
