One nice thing about trips at Endeavor is a five day pays out minimum of 25 hours, well above Monday. I know some commuters who bid for them.

Makes it slightly more worthwhile to be away from home for that long, if you happen to be in base. I still prefer 3 days though

Does the average pilot really have 17-18 days off every month?
I've been at Endeavor for a year and my last 3 months have been 16, 17, and 17 days off.

I fly the 200 (which is a bit more inefficient schedules). I have seen 18/19 days off on the 900 side.

This month it was 2 5 day trips and a 4 day.

Envoy, 4 day trips suck, 13-18 hrs. 11 days off will get you a 80-83 hr line. 12-15 days off, 72-75hrs.

If you had even a small delay, you would have to time out. Seems irresponsible.
Your ignorance is once again astounding. Just because you have never seen extremely efficient pairings, does not mean they don't exist. We fly 7.5 to 8.5 hour locals on the EJET. If you are senior enough to hold those you can work 2 to 3 days a week and be in your own bed every night.

+1... Guys at OO are getting 20 days off flying locals (think SEA-OKC/MKE). This "irresponsible scheduling" has got to stop. Give me a break oldMan

The average regional flight is 1 hr and 21 minutes. With taking that into consideration, it is darn near impossible to block a trip that high.

If you are flying 3.5 hr legs, every trip, it is possible. But no regional should be flying trips that long. That is mainline. When you get to mainline, you will see. If you are flying mainline routes, that is irresponsible.

Republic on the "shuttle" side does this. They do stuff like Newark to Chicago then to Denver and overnight. A three hour leg is a daily flight for them.

They should be ashamed of themselves. If they weren't flying that, then mainline would be, and instead of making regional pay, they would be making mainline pay.
