I’ve read that you bid for schedule types. How difficult is landing the 19 day per month schedule if you want it?

It's pretty easy to get. It's the max days off schedules that usually go senior. Keep in mind the 19 days (referred to as the CC76) can have up to 21 days in a month assigned. As long as the 4 month period averages out to 19 days per month. They can borrow 2 days from the next month so you work 21 days and then 17 days the following month. The CC72 (18 days per month) works the same way.

Very easy to get. You can also opt-in to the 8-day tour option for an additional 3%. This doesn’t mean every tour will be 8-days, but when they are, it should help increase FDP.

19 days a month doing that type of flying will wear you out rapidly. Heck 15 days is too much. I hear stories on JL and others making $400-$500k a year, but at what price? It will catch up to you.

I did the 18 day (CC72) most of the time I was at NetJets. I had gotten tired of it finally and had already decided to bid the 7&7 but lost my medical before I ever got awarded the bid.
