For on-demand freight shops, the instance you described above, is basically an AVERAGE day in the life.

There are no schedules at USA jet just days off or on. all the flying is on demand 30 min from phone ring to airport type deal. I can't stress that enough. You literally have no idea an hr before you rotate that you were even going to fly. So being up all day called at night for a trip that's pretty normal. You learn to take naps all day and deal with it or you leave. Days off vary from all 13 in a row to blocks of three or four throughout the month. you bid what you want and get what what you get. There's vacation health insurance and 401 k. a new fo on the dc9 will probably do low 50s without trying after our raise. Upgrade is anyone's guess. could be 3 yrs could be never that depends a lot on the direction the company goes in the future. They currently dont have a plan as far as I know.
