I have done 12 days in a row more than once. Don't recommend it.

Only about 9 years. That's normal right?

To be clear. Pilots are doing that themselves. That have to specifically tell the software to waive the calendar day off rule. Same with minimum of 2 days off.

It'll be interesting to see what changes, if any, result for scheduling after the new TA.

Such as? The timelines earlier, but what changes do you think will come from it?

Do you guys use PBS or is it traditional lime bidding and they are building 8 day pairings?

We have PBS. But, none of those 3 schedules are typical. In fact, I'm not sure how any of the three even got awarded.

The first one has 13 days off. We're guaranteed 11. Right now, with the inability to cover all flying, the odds of getting awarded 13 days off are slim to none.

The second one, with the 8 days straight can only happen if you waive the minimum 2 days off in between trips. Some commuters like this though because it reduces the number of times they have to commute and increases the likelihood of having more days off in a row.

The third one only has 10 days off. That bidder must have waived the min 11 days off.

So no, these are not quite typical of what are awarded schedules.
