2 weeks on/off

Wondering if anybody knows of operators who offer this type of schedule. It would be a dream come true for me. Currently I'm working 5 days on 1 day off and it's killing me. I'm open for any type of flying and willing to move anywhere. I'd really like to travel and would bust by tail for 2 weeks to have that benefit. Also CASS/ Jumpseat privileges would be awesome. Maybe it's a pipe dream but I figure I'd see what you fine folks know.

Me: approaching 1500TT, 135 scheduled experience

Some of the smaller operators do have a recip agreement with Alaska Airlines so pilots can get home or where ever on days off.

Checkout Hageland aviation they're somehow affiliated with RAVN Alaska. They're in cass and have other travel benefits as well. There are plenty of folks on these forums that are well versed and gave me the scoop. I suspect they'll chime in shortly.

Thanks guys, I can't seem to find a website for Hageland, everything redirects to Ravn. I guess I'll contact them and see if they hire directly into the 135 side. Any other names of companies in AK that might have a 2/2. I appreciate the help!

Not sure how I missed this. Hageland is apart of Ravn Air group, our shifts are the 1st-15th and the 16th- to the end of the month. We are in CASS.

Consider a Rotorcraft (Additional Rating), then CFI and fly tours for a couple of years to build hours. Most of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) oil and gas operators offer 14/14 schedule. I flew offshore in Angola 28-on / 28-off. There are a number of operators around the world who offer six-week on / six-week off schedules.
