Hello,
I've worked 135 since 2004. Ya I know....anyway the last 2 years I worked for a company that did 12 hour shifts with one week out of the month 24/7 single pilot.
Recently I got hired by another company working 12 hour shifts then, 4 months latter...you guessed it. They told us no more 12 hour shifts we are going to first up second up. Basically on call 24/7. Yay!!!!:rolleyes
If people knew their airline pilot was up since 8am was unable to nap in the afternoon and then at 11pm got a call for a flight and flew 4 long distance legs at 8.5 block time and had a 13.5 hour duty day they would never want to fly that airline again.
I wonder how long the FAA will allow this for passenger flights? Does anybody have any idea?
Thanks
