My typical line at SkyWest has been 88 hours and 15 days off. 175. Not too bad though our reserve rules are not great.

About 4 1/2 four day trips per month was my experience at PSA. Gone about 14 nights per month, with the understanding that a fair number of your trips will end after your kids are in bed, so expect 12-14 nights per month that you get to see them. |
SkyWest is generally 11-14 days off per month on the CRJ and very heavily weighted to 3 and 4 day trips. 90 hours at a minimum unless very senior. Supposedly we might see some QoL improvements in this upcoming agreement, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Still, if you are still 3 months out, you might check back.

That sounds great, especially 15 days off! How senior do you have to be for that? And what’s wrong with the reserve rules? I’m not planning to commute, gonna move wherever I’ll be based
Sitting reserve at home isn’t bad. Most of the reserve complaints are about sitting 8 hours of ready reserve but we are hoping that’s something they fix on this upcoming agreement. |
