Yes. Absolutely. EVERYONE gets 11 days off.

Actually all but two FO lines have 12 or more.

I can't wait to see what happens after a couple days of storms at ORD causing crews to time out.

Good luck friends.

don't forget reserves only get 10 days off and I am sure they will be asking us to work on those days as well.

Trans States will be Furloughing 45 Pilots effective July 1st

There are regionals that will hire you guys if you have the hours. ie. Mesaba Director of Ops said they will be hiring 40 into the pool and starting September through October they will hire another 50 to 60 pilots. If you have prior 121 hours, your chances are very good you will get the interview. After that it's all up to you.
All future hiring will most likely go into CRJ900s or CRJ200s. Most seats are in the CRJ900 FOs because the Saabs are staffed full at the moment.

I was at Trans States for 7 years. 3 on the J-41 and the rest on the burrito burner. I never, NEVER, had more than 13 days off.

Get use to it. That is the way it has been there for years. The only thing good about working at TSA (not The TSA) is that it forces you to keep your resume current!

Good luck!:confused:
