What is a typical schedule per month on the line ? 4 days on 3 off. How many days do you typically have off per month ? Do you typically achieve the 70 hrs month or do you fly much more ? Is it frowned upon if one picks up some 91 gigs on their time off. Just looking to supplement the low pay in the first couple years.
Forgive my questions , if they seem basic and silly. I am not a 121 guy although I am hoping to be soon.

SkyWest will also get you into the PNW in a jet with respectable upgrade times.

Now, what will AAG do to keep their flights full and on time?

Edit: wow, just started hearing about endeavors new TA/Pay raises and I wonder how long, or short it’ll be before you guys start hurting for FO’s on the eastern half the country.... id be jumping ship too for that pay if I lived out that way. Only a few days now the TA passed and SkyWest has guys jumping ship already...
