Sep 22 days, Oct 20 days, Nov 30 days, Dec 6 days (paid guarantee of 20 days), Jan 16 days (17 day guarantee), Feb 17 days. Guarantee is 17 days. Oct, Nov, Dec have been scheduled as 20 day months. A lot of new guys have been hired and we have many more scheduled runs. My guess is that OT will be available, but on a smaller scale in the future. I volunteered every day in December, but was not used much in December due to the peak season stable flying with UPS.

Granted things have changed for the better over there during the past year... they had to in this hiring environment... just like at every other tier 2 or 3 carrier... dont mistake that for benevolence.
