2nd hand info it’s a busy department which means they run you ragged, push duty day & flight time limits all week on minimum rest. Could be true; could be BS. But that’s all I got, take that info with a grain of salt.

gotcha. I was BFI based about 10 years ago. They used to basically move the whole base to Spokane every peak season. It sucked doing TDY from thanksgiving to Christmas. 😂

No that’s all pretty much spot on. Schedule just went from 3 weeks on 1 week off to 4 weeks on 1 week off after the charter pilot group was asked to give up our week off through February “to be made up later” and the majority give that proposition a hard no.

So does that mean a change in pay? Is it a permanent schedule change?

Charter QOL
During your 3/1 or 4/1 schedule are you on the road the whole time or do charter flights usually originate at your base? For a DFW Charter Pilot on the Metro how often would you be at home? Just the one week?
