In 15 months I've been held out twice for 18 days. I would say the average is about 12. This is of course dependent on your bidding. The 7/7 schedules seem to get used less. I choose the bids with 18/12 because even though 18 is long (or the possibility of 18), having 12 off in a row feels like a vacation. And some of the bids are 12/12/6 or 11/12/7. There are varying schedules but they all have some combination of 18 on and 12 off.

I would not count on going over your guarantee ever. It is possible but unlikely, unless you offer some of your off days as volunteer days. They would have to actually use you on those off volunteer days though to actually give you a shot at breaking guarantee. You can count on about $2100 per paycheck after training. As far as the 777 is concerned, it's probably more likely you'll get that. But some 767 FO's were awarded 777 CA on the last bid so they will have to replace those people.

So if one did the phone interview with DC back in September and got the nod that your package was sent to FltOps with approval, how long until youre contacted to come to Tulsa? Starting to think my package was lost. I hate when I lose my package.

Just a question, do turboprop 135 guys have a chance for FO spot even without 121 experience? like b1900 typed 135 PIC, transition to a wide body jet even without jet time? or do they accept guys for FO position even with 121 time?
thank you.
thank you.
