Default Companies with week on / week off schedules

Hi all,

I am interested in companies that offer work schedules such as 7 on, 7 off or 15 on, 15 off. Basically companies that provide large chunks of time off after a large amount of time on. I know of many such as Avantair, Atlas, TMC, Grant Aviation. But I would like to see names of some I may be missing. If you know of any, could you post and list the schedule available. I'm ready to get home to something more normal than my current 8 week on, 2 week off.

Thanks,
gsoflyer

Not sure if any are hiring but the big ACMI's typically run three on, two off or something like that.

While that would be a top choice, most seem to not be hiring at the moment. Or they haven't called me yet :-(

It wouldn't help right away but at many airlines with electronic bidding you can load your schedule any way you like it (with a modest amount of seniority). I could easily do 5-6 on, one off, 5-6 on and then two weeks off.

Yes please!! I think you've got to be ready to suck it up for a few years to get to that point. As long as you have a long term focus seems like the way to go.
