I would love to see a bid packet for PHL. I asked prior to the interview but never got it...

2 days off between trips is fairly common, but there are many lines with multiple 3 and 4 day off stretches. They aren't all super-senior lines either. Personally, I pick up the big money trips when I have a short 2 day break after a 2 or 3 day trip. It's worth it to me (and the Mrs.) to bank some cash rather than travel home for a short couple days. Some months this brings me down to 8-10 days off, but the payoff is worth it. The lowest I have gone is 6 days off in a month. That was a very lucrative month though...

I'm all for lucrative...

One way is to live in base, bid reserve, and put a 3 or 4 day 3xPrem trip on your golden days. I've done that before. I Worked 12 days total for the month after factoring in days that I wasn't called in on reserve. Flew around 61 hours and credited about 112 hours.

This.

Additionally, if you are commuting to reserve, your reserve will start at 5 am so you will need to be in base the day prior. If you pick up just the last leg of the day before, you will get premium for that day (16 hours or 12 if only double premium), can get a positive space from your home, and they will add the days of that trip after onto your reserve days saving you $$ on hotels or a crashpad.

Guys that live in base were regularly crediting 150+ hours during the summer

The question was in reference to Ricpov statement of "Don't say you will go around or take the controls"

If those two aren't an answer then what is?

What they want to hear is if you know when you can go below DA, which in fact you can go down up to 100 ft above TDZE, if you have runway environment in sight, below that only if you see red terminating bars, if captain persists on going below without those in sight, hit the mic and tell atc u going missed.....that is just a tricky question....

Better yet just suck the gear up on him/her. Then watch him go really fast to Go Around Mode. Lol

What's a usual day at PDT? 2 to 4 sectors on the EMB?
How long would each flight be? 45 minutes to 2 hours?

Answered your on questions!!!
