Info on Junior FO Schedules
Could you guys please provide info on what schedules are currently looking like for First Officers? Specifically looking for:
- Time on property spread between most senior FO on reserve vs. most junior FO line holder at the various bases.
- For someone who is interested in max days off, how long have the FOs been on property that are able to hold lines with at least 15 days off per month in DFW vs. ORD vs. LGA?
- Any FOs getting 17 or more days off? How long on property before one can expect that?
Thank you.

To the OP, if schedules and days off are your priorities, then I'd go to EDV. They have superior schedules and obviously superior pay.

Thank you. Good info. I hear ya, but we are relocating to TX and considering the DFW and SAT areas. I would have to commute with EDV either way, but could live close to DFW and company HQ if we chose the Dallas metro area.
Tough choice.

If you're moving, I highly suggest moving to within an hours drive of DFW. At that point an RAP assignment on reserve can be an extra day at home. If it's a month where we're staffed well, like this one, you'll have a lot more than just 11 days at home with the family.

I want to get back to 121 after a long absence and another career having nothing to do with flying. I have no problem with the concept of staying long-term and retiring from a regional. As one gets older, suitcases and hotel rooms get less and less attractive. Having the HQ option opens a lot of possibilities, for sure.
The job offer needs to come first, then I can make a choice.
