That's not actually true because its 16 working days but they will move out of your house to your work station on your days on and can send you back home late night on your last day as far as you're in the lower 48 so it more accurate to tell your family 17 days on maybe 18. Principally if you're on probation.
Generally if you are moving late on your last day... you dropped the ball and didnt start pushing scheduling 3-4 days out to firm up CBA compliant travel home. NOBODY at this company even those on probation have ever been targeted for exercising their contractual rights.

This isnt actually true either....yes you will travel on your last day off... but generally not before 20z... and yes you could be in a situation getting home late on your last day... for me personally I have got home late once in 6 1/2 years..... more often than not ... I have been home by noon on my last day.... or even better the night before....

schedulers want to fill seats in our metal moving freight.....getting you home on time just might not be their priority unless you make it their priority

That is not how it should work! Unfortunately, it is very stressful having to negotiate with CS about getting home on time. They are taking advantage of the new people on the line. I hope the union is manning the “CS hotline” phone number and helping these people out?

How is CS taking advantage of new people? They have given you a company phone. Use the phone, call in a few days before you are to go home and tell them you need to be home on time this month. If they were ever to tell you no then ask to be connected to the Chief Pilot on duty.

Had I been there when this was presented, you would have been on the phone. That is just one example!
