You will fly 6 days a week. You will spend 20 hours a day away from CVG at various places, but will not get per diem. Evidently because you are back in Cincinnati for 2-3 hours in the middle on the night means that you don't need per diem. The hotels will range from decent to terrible, and you will spend more time waiting for hotel shuttles than you will actually flying. You will never see the sun, and will not get days off when you request them.

I know the ACP up there would LIKE to be able to split the schedule so that one pilot would fly a run Su-W and then another would cover Th/F and a couple weekend days.
The issue is that they can't get/keep pilots in the base. Until they can get the staffing, they can't adjust the schedule or cover all time off requests. And with the schedule the way it is, they can't get people to take an assignment there. Thus the Catch 22.

You are home every nigh at some bases, but from about 8pm to 4am. I wouldn't exactly call that quality time at home. I would rather do a 4 day trip and be home for 2 full days rather then the 8 hrs when you are sleeping to recover for the next day. But thats just me, everyone has their own priorities.
