$115 to work 5 months a year ant that bad my friend, with two 3 week blocks of time off!

Just stop. You do not get vacation first year. You earn it first.

What’s the demographic of pilots who like to be on the road for 7+ days at a time?

I did 10 on 5 off for 7 years, followed by 7/7 for 8 years. Have to say 7/7 is better.

Kids in college, stuffing the 401k as retirement looms,just bought an airplane and have to pay it off, catching up ( still ) after a furlough, everybody has their reasons. I did it for one quarter while my wife was on maternity leave, 76 day , 8 day tours, in the mighty XL , and swiftly returned to my 7&7 when she returned to her 737, it was challenging , and exhausting, but it paid well, and God bless the guys and girls on it.

You left out divorced or would be divorced if you spent too much time at home.

Working the 76 day with 14 total vacation days is not even close to 150 days per year. It is more like 214 days per year.

Just over half of the pilot group is on the 7/7.

If you have been around for 10 years you have 28 days of vacation. So on the 7/7 that means four 21 day blocks of time off.

Or 35 straight off if you bid a double*. I take a double every year. Best part of the job is being able to throw that iphone in a sock drawer for a month.

*Cue the mathematically challenged who say bidding a double costs you a week off...
