The schedule gets old... Should be switching to (roughly) two and two schedule in the very near future. Lear's do mostly air ambo. Falcon's still flying boxes and doing the Dover stuff. We aren't doing the freight that we used to fly, by a long shot. I'm not sure what QOL is going to be like after switching schedules, but it can't be worse than 15 and 6... It definitely has its moments where you are tired, but it isn't as bad as it used to be. They are slowly moving in a better direction.

Need to live in Detroit? Endeavor is hiring 60 pilots a month with DTW included in initial base offerings:

I don't work there, but I am suggesting there are always other options if you don't want to fly back-of-the-clock flying...

Pay is better than it used to be and some regionals offer a flow-up to a major. Don't know why people accept this type of "torture" when there are plenty of other jobs out there...

They have a new schedule now, so that is a step in the right direction. However, the pay is very subpar, and that will need to improve to attract qualified candidates. Most of the guys do their year there and move on. I do speak from experience.
