Houston Schedules
 
Just wanted to know if there is a "typical" schedule for 175 FOs in Houston. Starting class in a few weeks and have requested the 175 for easier commute.
The recruiter indicated the schedule may have up to 15 days off per month there?
Any insight would be great, as I don't really know what I getting into with this job.

"May" is the operative word. Are you wanting to fly or sit at home?

I am trying to get an idea of the scheduling for Houston. Minimum 11 days off according to contract, but word of mouth is that it could be 15 days.

15 certainly isn't typical, but not unheard of.

Expect mainly 4 day trips with lots of Mexico flying. Lots of 30hr layovers, too.

What else are the recruiters saying these days?

Expect the minimum. That way your not disappointed with reality.

As of right now, and in the near future, you can expect to spend your first two months after IOE on reserve. While on reserve you will only have 11 days off. After that you will hold a line (get a schedule, as opposed to be on reserve) and then you will see more days off. Based on the schedules for September, 2017 looks like you can start holding 15 days off at about 5 months but with very low credit and only a couple of half-weekends off a month.

daily schedule
 
Is there anything to expect out of a daily schedule. i.e. earliest flight, latest flight, crew day?

Again, just an average as I know everyday may be different.

E145?
 
Is the E145 still an option for IAH?

Wrong airline. Try ExpressJet.
