Typical MEM schedule/days worked
Was curious if someone could shed some light on a typical schedule or number of days worked out of MEM, as well as how commuting factors into that? I’m assuming MEM 75 is fairly easy to get out of training? Also what is the typical credit for the average month. Thanks in advance.
Thank you in advance…

Recommend bidding that if you’re in “danger” of not getting your first choices so you’re not seat locked…and if there’s a potential system bid coming up. Credit for 4 week bid month is 70ish. 5 week is 90ish.

The "bid the 757" so you don't get seat locked seems to be some of the worst advice that people could possibly give out.
Yeah, you're seat locked to a WIDE BODY for two years instead of stuck in a narrow body for two years while you wait for training to a WIDE BODY??? Talk about throwing away money. And, even if it isn't the ideal plane and domicile, it's for TWO years. This job is a marathon, not a sprint. Enjoy the wide body dollars from the beginning.

Combine that with an extra $3K/mo for potential passover pay, it’s not a bad option at all and one that shouldn’t be dismissed as the “worst advice”.
