Loaded question I know but are they airline like (4 on 3 off) or is it possible to clump them together to get more of a 7/6 or 14/13? Also what are reserve lines like also? The ABX career page boast "flexible schedule", taken with a grain of salt I'm sure.

Thank for the info in advance!

Disregard about rpshedule I found a previous post. But still curious about "flexible schedule"

Also I found what people made first year but if anyone willing to share what they brought down 2nd year after pay bump would be appreciated.

Mo.....Stay out of you daddy's moonshine! Where did you find that
ATI was highly compensated? You need to talk to some of the guys that work there and ask if they are highly compensated. The only thing they tout is their marvelous home basing.....which according to a well placed source, will be negotiated away very soon.

You don't seem to understand that ATI and ABX are two separate companies. They're owned by the same parent company, but two separate operations and vastly different contracts.

Yup it will do it. I meant ABX. Letters confuse me. I are pilot.

See above. I was typing about one while looking at the other. All questions were in reference to ABX 🙃

ABX's schedule is very commutable. I usually do a 17 day block. Our schedule isn't chopped up due to our contract. Typically two blocks of time with some lines having either one or three blocks. None of the 4 on 3 off BS.

You are forgiven. It's best not to confuse the two. ABX guys seem to have a lot more pride in their contract.....unlike the rank and file at ATI. Oh, that's right their MEC knows best!

That's good. I'm on an 8/6 right now so doing something a little longer on both on and off would be descent. Any idea reserve time lines and upgrades? Read they were short currently which would help with both i would think. Also is it pretty normal to break guarantee for the month and do reserve chunks break up much line the lines or are they usually 17 day stretches?

Appreciate the information.
