Schedule
 

I was just wondering what most people's schedule's look like. Is it mostly a 4 on 3 off kind of thing or do a lot of people have shorter trips? What would be considered a "good" schedule for a regional pilot?

A "good" schedule is entirely dependent on if you live in domicile or commute to work. If you commute you want 4 day trips that start late on Day 1 and finish early on Day 4, while if you live in domicile you may want high credit 3 day trips that start early and finish late or 1/2 day back-to-back trips or CDOs for time at home.

Then again, some that commute bid CDOs because each sequence itself is VERY commutable.

well Heres what I just pulled off in the Initial Line Improvement window here at Expressjet, I have my PC check on the 1st of December then I dont work until the 9th, its a day trip, then I have off until the 14th, I start a 22hr 4day have only two days off, then start a 4-day on the 20th worth 24 hrs. I have off the 24th, 25th, then a day trip on the 26th and done until 2008 :)

My pay is only 70hrs but I don't care at this point, I cant time out anyway and I am going to take some time off and get ready to mentally prepare myself for being the new EWR F/O Rep, thanks for the guys/gals that voted for me by the way;) :)

I have 20 days off, but in reality its becuase we are very fat on F/O's, I am going to enjoy it while it lasts, plus I live in base so when I am on my 6th day off I will be bored out of my mind so Ill pick something up

Does the EWR Local only have one CA & FO rep?

You, an MEC member?!??! Woah. :eek:

Seriously though, thanks for stepping up and volunteering your time and congrats for the victory. Serving on two ALPA committees has taken up quite a bit of my time but the progress and improvement that has happened while serving MY pilots has been very satisfying.

Yeah, one F/O rep, one CA, the CA Rep is a good guy, he was the old F/O rep. I am looking forward to getting involved, I figured I complain all the time, maybe I can do something about it ya know. Now I gotta watch what I post :eek:

yea dont be the "tonywilliams" of expressjet haha

Haha, think i got ya beat. Only have 17 days off but I got half the weekends and i do a 1 turn day trip on the 21st then off till sometime in January. Ain't line improvement night fun!:D

Congrats on the FO rep position. Guess we know whos gonna have the best rumors.

4 on 2 off all month with 12 days off. Pretty crappy line but in the second bid period I've been eligible for I have a line as does nearly everybody that was in my class. A crappy line is better than sitting reserve in my opinion.

So far I've extended my one week of November vacation from 11/9 to 12/15. But who's counting? :D

Schedule? What's that? Gotta love 7 months on reserve...
