Civilian schedules
 

I’m putting together a PowerPoint for military pilots thinking about transitioning to the civilian side. I have my schedule, but I wanted to show some typical schedules at various carriers, 121, 135, 91(k) for various seniority levels rather than just a very senior regional schedule. If anyone is willing can you PM me a snapshot of your schedule, minus any personal data such as names and employee numbers. If you feel comfortable include carrier (or just “legacy, LCC, ULCC, regional,135, 91(k)), and how long you’ve been there so I have a reference for them.
Also if anyone who recently made the jump wants to toss in “I wish I’d known this” things to include.
Thanks.

What are you trying to show? Most guys won't care IMO. They want the airline job and military initially. When it's gets too much the military will lose out. If you want to show that as a new airline pilot you will have only 3 days off a month (unit mission dependent) then ok. But they won't want to hear that.

Part of the brief will give them an idea of the schedules they will have. Mine shows working only 8 days in November, 7 in December for 75 hours credit each month. Not very realistic for a new hire.
Not sure which airline Pilot only gets 3 days off each month. Worst I ever had was 10.

Oops, bad assumption on my part.:eek: I was thinking you were including a military pilot's guard/reserve schedule. I mean what pilot leaving active duty wouldn't go guard/reserve?;)

Maybe the the one looking to use TRS and stretch it to '20 Good Years' for the guaranteed annuity....
Or the one who needed to get just one more trip 'over there' to smell the powder again.
Damn my desire to be with my brothers and sisters....

Even when I did Guard I had pleanty of time off. As an IP I flew when I wanted and was able to get orders to fly that conflicted with trips I didn’t like.
Also, as a commuter I would do stand ups and Guard flying. One leg, sleep in a hotel for 6 hours, one leg back, sleep in the ready room for about 3 hours, fly a hop for the Guard, do it again. Then go home for four days.
For my two weeks of summer drill I would bid a standup line worth about 30 hours. Then drop the thrips thatbdid not conflict with annual training, pick up 2 four days and I was back up to guarantee.

I might be missing something here, did you commute to both the guard and the airline?

Guard and Airline base were at the same location. Actually made things easier in a sense. When I was home, I was home.

That's the way to do it... I know I'm going to live less than an hour away from the mil base, but I'm thinking I'll have a long drive or commute by air to the airline base. I'm just trying to get a feel for what the lifestyle is like before it comes time to make a decision, since there's no telling how the regionals are gonna be in a few months.

Um what airline do you work for? I want to work there where I can average 10 credit hours a day. Thanks
