There is PBS schedule (Preferential Bidding System) along with 8-7 fixed or 7-7 fixed available. Your choice after training. The fixed schedules pay about 30% less than PBS. I don't think many new hires opt for that.

PBS Quick Overview - The schedule consists of 14,15 or 16 work days per 28 day bid period. You bid for 4,5 or 6 day trips. If a pilot has a PBS schedule with 6 days of work, minimum of 4 days off. A pilot with 4 or 5 days of work will have a minimum of 3 days off. These are considered Green lines that the company may assign. Yellow lines of 12,13, 17 or 18 days of work could also be bid . A Yellow line cannot be assigned unless the pilot bids for it.
Good info. Are these monthly bids? (Can a pilot bid different lines/schedules every month)

You are allowed to select Fixed vs PBS every 6 months. PBS operates on a 28 day bid schedule. Usually posted about 1 month prior.

Go to NetJets, young man.
Oh you expect me to read through a dozen other threads rather than just ask a simple question on this one. Ok. That sounds reasonable.

I like the young man part though.

Carry on.

On these 4,5, or 6 day trips, how many flights will you fly per day?

With 2-3 flights per day (average), is there a lot of sitting and waiting? In other words, is your duty time still 14 hours regardless?

There is airport rot. The biggest negative for me. Not always 14hrs. But a lot of it with min rest.

Thanks for the quick response. Do you know if NetJets is similar in that regard?

I can't speak for NETJETS but the forums suggest its along the same lines.

Thanks. I’m currently at a regional. In the early spring, I’ll have 1000hrs in an ERJ175 and I have been looking very closely at fractionals.
