This resets the clock. Otherwise they could put you on perpetual reserve just flying you as your time rolls off. That’s not much of a reward for helping the company cover flying.

Getting a month off is not guaranteed when you time out. Pilots need to understand that. While that is what I fight for each month, in the last 6 we have seen:

-Getting the whole month off.
-Getting a reduced line built after the fact.
-Sitting partial reserve.
-Sitting reserve the whole month.

Not if you fly 100 hours per month....

Yeah, being close to 1,000 hours in a rolling 12 is not the same as flying 95+ hours per month. I see that as well.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I believe the answer you are looking for is because of your Mesa work rules.

With a rolling clock, its just math, if you flew the 8 hours a year ago yesterday, you get to fly hours today.

You would have to have some sort of multi-month training event or big leave of absence to cause a full bid month to have no hours rolling off. Is this what you are talking about? I can't imagine there are that many people taking a big leave of absence.

A pilot is allowed to fly 100 hours per 28 days and 1,000 hours per 365 days. If a pilot flies 10 months at 100 hours per 28 days, they have to take 2 months off. This is standard Part 117 and nothing to do with Mesa work rules.

Flying exactly 100 hours per 28 days is impossible, but flying 98 hours per 28 days is not.

The challenge is you enter a month with 10 hours left until you are at 1,000 hours in the last 365. Then, Mesa will put you on reserve and fly you those last 10 hours whenever it fits the company’s needs.You still get a month off.

Do your planes have WiFi? I just don’t see how you are flying 100 hours a month and also logging 300 posts a day on this forum?!

Lol. There are 672 hours in a 28 day period. Lots of time leftover to respond to non-Mesa folks who post here. I always question why someone from ExpressJet or SkyWest even wastes their time reading our forum.
