Everyone keeps saying how busy the XL fleet is. Over the last two months I have averaged 10 hours a tour and no overtime, however two holidays last weekend did help. I have not seen an extended day since last September and I volunteer to come out every tour early and stay out longer. Oh, and by the way, today is day one, and at home I sit. However, I do understand that everything at NJA runs in cycles. I am just waiting for the hammer to drop and to fly my rear off, or atleast until I call uncle.

Want to trade? They've used the heck out of me the last three tours!

Just curious, are you west-coast based? We always hear how guys out west never work; just building up some statistical(ly insignificant) samples.

I am on the XL too and haven't worked too hard for quite a few months. First three days of this last tour, I didn't leave the state of Texas with a total of four legs. Slept in my own bed on nights one, two, and six. Had one day that was four legs. Other than that, my only other "long day" was a 2.5 hour limo to ferry a plane 14 minutes and done.

I think we have enough XL's now with the 680 picking up a lot of the slack. I hardly get any overtime anymore, but with the pay raise I am happy to work less and make more. Hard to complain about that.

Sorry 1900. Keep up the good work.

I am in the Mountain time zone and I start 99% of my tours out west. Usually means spending day one travel, 2,3,4 out west, 5 and 6 working my way east and day 7 flying home. If you really want to get upset, I have been to the new First Aviation once and that was the 2nd day they were there. Just talking to another XL pilot today, I would have to look at the airport diagram to see how to get to it.

XL not that busy??? I wish! Like CA1900 said, the last three tours have been busy. This last tour started with a 400am show with a 13.5 hour day. I haven't had a show that early since IOE over 2 years ago. This tour I think I did 17 hours , the previous tour was 22 and the one before that was right at 20. I'm on the 15 day flex too!! All tours on the last day I would fly 1 rev flight followed by a ferry to airline home. Those 680s have been keeping busy too!
