How many nights per week are you away from home? Currently first officer in a lear 45 for a corporate company, but no where to advance from it and not flying very much.

When did you get the email saying you were added to the hiring pool? I got mine a couple months ago...im just trying to guage when i might be coming up in line for a call?

So what is a typical trip out for you? Do you ever do flights that are out and back the same day? Or are you spending a lot of nights away from home? QOL is the most important thing for me right now so just want to make sure I don't get stuck somewhere. How many nights a week are you away usually?

You are not gone away from home very many nights. Maybe 8 nights a month depending on how many pilots are at your base. Also depends on the schedules are your base.
