Some trips are close to 7 and 7, but it really varies. It's not like some of the other ACMI's that send you out for really extended trips. If you want to have a lot of time off in a row, bid open reserve. You basically stay out for two weeks and then get two off. That said, you could be out for shorter, it just depends on what flying is available. If you like shorter, you could bid a domestic line, and be home in five or six days, with less consecutive days off. We also have a scheduled reserve system that can be as short as four days of work, and up to eight. There is quite a bite of variety, but if you want out and backs, this is not the place. If you live in Toledo though, you can bid hot standby at the hub and sleep in your own bed almost every day. Variety is the best way to describe our schedules.

What are the odds the DC-8 will be around in a few years, and still getting the chance to fly one? I have about 900TT, flying about 100HRS/month, and planning on doing some single pilot cargo as soon as this job ends, to build up the multi. Do they like to see jet time, or is turboprop time just as good? I'd like to avoid the airlines, but if it jet time is more valuable I'll definitely consider it. Thanks for any info

The window should be open again in the next week or two. The electronic application needs some tweaking. It may stay open for a while with classes for the rest of the year. The projected number of new hires seems to be moving on the higher side.
