Recently the Company has been making 12-day rotations utilizing the weekends of no DHL work to start/end trips. I am not on the 767, but us 747 guys are pretty jealous overall. They work their butts off during the week and earn that 64 hour guarantee month even at a 12-day schedule.

I don't know how many legs each day, but the are sitting the sort in CVG each night some way or another.

ETOPs is now complete on the 767. The schedule may change a bit due to this.

Checkers21, Huggz, and Colt are frequent posters on here who are on the 767. The vast majority of us are on the 747 and cannot answer you. Not sure if Checkers can give you an unbiased answer.

We missed you complaining about the schedules this month...berating a potential recruit is a solid way to make up for that though and to expect more from you is honestly a stretch.

As for something more productive for pilots that aren't better suited flying for a regional...

The 767 schedules are mostly night hub flying. Most of the time we don't sit through the sort with possibly a couple exceptions a rotation. You leave around 5 am local from CVG...get to the outstation anywhere for 7 to 11 CVG time...get rest at the outstation...then fly back to be back in CVG around 1-2 AM the next day. You then usually have off until the morning departure the next day. Sprinkle in some reserve days instead of flying and that's a normal rotation.

As for the new schedules they're a work in progress that still need some tuning. They're 12 day schedules where you sit through the sort every night and then fly out to the outstation. You only get rest at the outstation. You airline in on Sunday night and then back home Saturday night. It's a brutal schedule but it cuts down the total days out by quite a bit. We are looking at fatigue mitigation strategies for these pairing as they're brutal.

Have you done that 12-day schedule yet? You do prefer it over an 'easier' 16 day schedule?

I have not done it yet. I’m not senior enough to hold one yet. I’d like to do them as I’d rather work harder on my days on and work less days, but doing hub turns here and there, doing them for a week straight would be brutal.

Thanks jhugz!! Honestly that still sounds a helluva better than commuting for regional reserve with min days off (11 days) and commuting on a lot of those days off...

anyway, can i hope for any dfw overnights? Lol
