During busy season here is the same but you work 4 on 3 off .. here on the east coast is busy and yes you end up 13 14 hours duty .. such job .. if one is not up this find 8-5 job .. again it is not like that all the time ..

3 days off sounds so good!. I don't mind super long days as long as you have days off to recover. My days are long, period haha. Close to 650h now, got a call from CT but I told the lady I had to fly the mail and she didn't call next morning when she said she would do. Maybe I should just call that number

You got to stay at the office for the whole duty day?
We just chill at the apartment when there are no flights. So even though "duty days" are long, we don't spend them at the airport...

Anyone heard anything lately on what TT they are hiring FOs with? I'm on climbto350 and I see at least a few times a week them advertise just CPL as a minimum, but 900 preferred. I would figure they'd have no problem getting 250 hour applications. Are they holding out for 900 hours? That's about all I can imagine with how much they advertise.

I heard from one of their Captains their magic number for FO's are 700-900. I applied with 500 about a month ago and havent heard anything.
