OK I understand that seniority/longevity impacts pay. But guess I wasn't clear in that I'm talking about seniority for part time Captains. They don't need it for upgrades (as they are already a Captain and can't be a part timer on the jet). I guess that leave vacation so do part timers even get vacations and what is Plane Sense's vacation policy?

Everyones situation is certainly different though.

You can make more money part time and have all the time off you want. If multi turbine time is something you seek, get out to the local airport and meet people and offer SIC services. Pt 91 and corporate operators are hurting for pilots and it shouldn't be too difficult to find a couple gigs.

And if multi turbine is your goal it'll be more profitable and quicker just to go sit right seat on a bizjet somewhere, or go to a regional for a year or two to build multi time.

Now that PlaneSense is looking at a minimum of 1000 hour FOs, they're actually putting themselves in a pretty tight corner. I've seen several postings on several sites offering jobs for sub 1500 hour pilots. When the starting salary is better, benefits and schedule are the same, PS is going to have a very hard time attracting anyone with a CMEL.

Back to PSM at 2100 on day 8, but then they have you sit standby "just in case something comes up", even though you don't have enough duty time to do anything productive, and there are 3 other crews on standby within 100 miles of PSM.

The hardships you face in this job are so totally unfair, why oh why do they keep treating you this way? It's a job, you are an employee, you are on the clock. Starting late on day 1 and ending on day 7 so you can be all cozy in your bed early on day 8 is for vacation, not for work. Grow up. This job is work much of the time, go figure. This isn't some part time after school gig at the local country club.
So totally unfair. You should be able to work less for way more money, and they should be grateful that you grace them with your presence.
Life is hard.
