I hear that most NJ guys end up getting a month off per year due to the two weeks vacation and how you bid it. When do you get more than two weeks of Vacation time and is it really that sweet there? I know most people end up liking what they are hired/accepted into regardless of the company; a human nature thing.
On the 7/7 each week of vacation is 3 weeks off. I think four 3 week vacations is pretty sweet! Not to mention you get another 12 days of "sick" time per year which is almost 2 more tours (or you can sell them back if you want the cash). Also, NJA is pretty cool with granting LOAs if you can handle the pay hit. I took one last month which gave me 3 weeks off, with no pay obviously.
A 10 year guy with 4 weeks vacation and who also uses a week of sick time, would only work 21 tours a year (26-5) which is 147 days of actual "work" per year. 3 of those tours (21 days) will be for training, so that's only 126 days of actually flying the line.

On the 18 day schedule you will rarely go out less than 5 or 6 days. There is nothing set so it will be different each month. I have been scheduled to 17 days so far for the last two months and for next month also. This month I did an 8 day stretch and I'll start a 7 day soon. Then I'll have 4 off and work the last 2 days (and first 5 of next month). I have almost a 7 and 7 next month with all 7 day tours and a 6 day off stretch and a 7 day off stretch. It has worked out great for me so far. I haven't had a tour shorter than 5 days so far.

After 5 years you get 3 weeks vacation and after 10 you get 4 weeks.

That sounds great! However, is this the common theme there or is this the top of the good deal pile? I am already filing out my application as we speak. Looks like my job is not going to be here in the Fall and I want to move to Austin.

Soulshine- I'm on the Excel. I just had a 3 day tour last month, but that is the only one I've had and the only one I've had less than 5 days still. I've heard of a few guys who have had 4 on and 3 off for a few weeks in a row, but that isn't common and that hasn't happened for me.

Good luck with your application! I've been considering moving to Austin or San Antonio myself.

Thanks dudemize. I kick myself for not doing it 18 months ago. I think it fits my personality.
AUS and SAT are great! SAT is even has cheaper housing and close to the Hill Country. My top two choices. Of course I heard that you only have to give a 30 day notice to change bases and you can start at any of the bases.

From what I have seen this year, they appear to be dividing it up roughly equally between airline, 135/91/91K and military. Military may not be equal to the other two due to there not being as many military guys available. This is just an impression based on limited knowledge. Your milage may vary, more or less. IMO, they want a mix in the group and are actively working to keep it balanced.

If you are a slacker, your background will reflect. Pure and simple.
The way it is at most places.
