Aspen plus trades.
And displacements.

Picked up 3 days of work which had me down to 13 off.

It can be done if you bid high paying standups and then pick up an extra high paying 4 day. This month I have 112 hrs on the 175 with 13 days off.

Wait, what ? (sorry new guy here...)

Your travel benefits depend on what airframe you fly ?

Did I just read that correctly ?

you could get paid like a real airline pilot and not have to work on your days off. Begging and fighting over the scraps we call auto incentive. Skywest is playing us big time

You can credit 130-150 if you are willing to do standups... But you have to work a lot.

I have to warn you though, I did that for a couple of months to pay for a few things in cash and I think I permanently wrecked my sleep habits.

Those pay checks though. They were nice.

5 stand-ups all month.

184 TAFB. Wondering how that's working a lot. Is it more than normal? Of course. I need the money.

But 184 time away from base for 121 pay is pretty damn good. 9 days away from base all month.

Longest trip is a 2 day

Yeah the ratios are great but for me it was making the trip to and from the airport every day that sucked. Putting on the monkey suit was painful after a while.

That's you then. I'd rather do 3 stand-ups or even 4 vs a 4day.

Yes.

CRJ:
You get United and Delta no matter where you are based. If you're LAX, ORD, or PHX, you can add on American* benefits. If you're SEA or PDX based, you can add on Alaska benefits.

ERJ:
You only get United benefits no matter your base. If you're SEA or PDX you can add on Alaska. It hasn't been officially announced yet, but sounds like to get Delta benefits you'll have to be SEA based. (Maybe LAX too?)

*note that American benefits are useless to us. You may as well save yourself the $1.56 booking fee on MyIDTravel and list yourself as a jumpseater. I only have AA because my parents live in North Carolina and AA is useful to them out of CLT.

Funny how were complaining about not have DL/UA/AS and AA travel. When anyone that flys for Eagle only gets AA. Mesa. Same AA unles you fly the ERJ. Then UA.. Horizon. Only gets AS... We should be happy to have other options... But no. We like to complain..
