I was wondering how much duty time a first of
Hello!
I currently work for a part 135 operator and put in about 240 hours of duty time a month. I was wondering how much duty time a first officer does a month? I was thinking of making the jump if it is substantially lower. I appreciate everyone’s input!
Thanks,

Probably a wash. Maybe slightly less than that. You’ll fly a lot more than charter though so I don’t know what’s more tiring, waiting around or flying more.
