The most continuous I have seen worked (not by me) was eight. Two, four day trips, back to back with thirty hours in base.

Yeah I realize this would probably be a "hellish" schedule for most, while being a perfect schedule for me. I'm not terribly familiar with 117. With Compass' PBS would structuring 3-4 four day trips in a row be viable? I assume this would force the rest of the month off.

Seniority I guess is moving rapidly (anyone can confirm?). Does the company have viable future plans for itself and/or it's pilots?

Unless we get more flying (which is purely speculative by the pilot group at this point) we are hiring for attrition.

Maybe possible but again it is not very likely.

That's an odd question.

Two weeks to two years...it depends on the seniority of the CA in question.

Oh god. I meant true ****... from reputable sources. Like how my uncle's coworker's brother's catsitter heard from his hair stylist that we're getting 747s to replace all the E175s.
