FedEx schedule. TWTF...typically out and back.
If you are doing a hub turn you may sit at the hub during the sort for about 3 hours...
Some of the runs are hotel overnight during the sort.

If you live near PBI, Miami would be a pretty good gig. Because the run is rather long, they have it staffed with 3 pilots. That means some weeks you'll work 4 days others only 3. The run is an out and back to Jamaica during the day. While your in Montego Bay you get to hang out at "club Mo'bay" with all you can eat refreshments and non-alcoholic drinks while you wait out the package sort.

I’m interested in an ATR FO position, specifically the one in KBUF. I noticed that the requirements for that position are different than other ATR FO positions.
KBUF ATR FO Requires:
1200 TT
800 PIC
500 XC
100 Night
75 Instrument (50 Actual)
OTHER ATR FO Requires:
1500 TT
250 PIC
100 MEL
Any ideas why the difference? 121 vs 135?
If I’ve met the TT and PIC requirements would they waive the night and “actual instrument” times? I’ve got 75+ instrument but only 15 actual. I’m sitting at around 30 night hours. Most of my hours have come from flying LiDAR and aerial imagery VFR. It’s been tough getting the night and IFR hours.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Nah, we don’t have “junior” bases. It’s a mistake. Someone who posted the job accidentally put down the C208 minimums instead of ATP minimums. I’ve already called the boss and told them to fix it.

Schedule Clarifications
Hi all, I've been browsing a few MAC discussions trying to get a better handle on what the schedule looks like. Any chance of some help?
Specifically, when it's mentioned to fly 3 or 4 days if you're based with a route, are each of those days typically bringing you back home every day? Or are you gone from home on the road for 4 days?
Is all of the flying overnight? Or are some runs always daytime?
If a floater, is it typical to sit reserve from home or are you sent off to other bases to sit reserve? Or have I misunderstood the "floater" routine?
Thanks for any help in advance! I've got the hours/mins and what not, just weighing options and considering a jump from the current job.

Floater: Your gateway airport is ABC. Monday 8:00am fly 121 to XYZ to cover that route for the week. Friday or Saturday morning fly 121 from XYZ, back to ABC your home base airport. get weekend off and then rinse and repeat on Monday. Floaters get every 5th week off at home during that cycle.
