Just wounding what a typical RJ FO schedule look like. How many days on and then off and how far in advance you know your schedule. Thanks

That depends - are we talking about Mesa FO's or XJet/SkyWest FO's

I'm holding 16 days off and 80+ awarded hours a month, and I am fairly junior in base.

Next month, I have either 3 or 4 day trips with four days off after each...15 days off for the month and it's a 91 hr line. It was awarded about 3 days ago now. I too, am relatively junior in the company, but senior in my seat for my domicile.

At Eagle line holders vary from 12-19days off. Occasionally I've seen 20days off lines.

This bid I will have 10 days off with a whopping 77 hours of pay credit. You should know your schedule 28 days in advance based on what you bid. In reality my schedule will probably get changed at least 10-20 times in a month, my planned days off will change at least two or three times and I never have any idea what is going to happen or when I will get home. When these guys on APC tell you that your choice of airline is a huge decision they are not lying. When I chose my airline I read all the messages on here saying don't go to XYZ airline cause it's horrible and management treats you like crap and I had the attitude of it can't be that bad. I thought they were just exagerating but they aren't. Heres an example of my schedule the last three days. 8 a.m. day one: fly a leg to airport A, get there at 9:15 a.m., done for the day, overnight there till 7 a.m. the next day when I fly to airport B, sit at airport B for 5 HOURS, fly a leg to airport C, done for the day. Away from base for 36 hours for 4.5 hours of pay. Day three is supposed to be my day off. Crew scheduling calls and informs me that I am being junior manned and will not get my day off as scheduled. 15 hours of duty on my day off and now I can't commute home. Because my original bid had 11 days off and our minimum is 10, they don't even have to give me another day off. Choose very very wisely when deciding on an airline, it can and will affect your life greatly.

16-17 days off, average line credit 85-90 hours with weekends off. As someone mentioned above, it depends on the company and your seniority. XJT F/O
