I spoke with a SLC guy who is around 70% up the list. He said he was getting crappy trips and 11 days off. That is about all I know.

I highly doubt we are doing "part-time" pilots. Flight attendants can opt for part-time, but not pilots unless we changed something.

I was 4-on, 2-off my first couple of months on the Line. Now I'm getting 3-on, 4-off mostly...Can't complain. But it takes awhile to learn PBS.

You're not the first to call me insane LoL

I'd be perfectly happy with those two-leg -700 days if we didn't have that stupid 20,000 ft company autopilot limitation! But it's okay, they say, to fly to 28,000 if it's deferred

You make it sound like you actually enjoy what your job. That's just ridiculous.

No, unless they're on reserve and bid a bad schedule.

We have part time flight attendents, but not pilots. Probably due to recurrent sim training costs...part-timers would need the same sim time.

Pilots can drop trips down to 62 hours without using vacation, so you can make yourself a pretty light schedule if you can afford.

I prefer just a drive to the airport and back, maybe a start-up and short taxi if I've had too much coffee.
