NJ schedule

Sorry guys, I've looked and looked. What is an example of the 18 day schedule again? Is it 6/4, 7/3 etc? Is there a max/min number of days off? Thanks.

The 18-day can be anything, subject to a few limitations:

Tours a maximum of 7 days long, except one 8-day tour during each four-month bid period. Minimum 3 days off after any tour; 4 days of after a 7-day tour; 5 days off after an 8-day tour.

That's it. You can submit preferences (such as requested days off or preferred tour lengths [long or short]), but they're not guaranteed. Other than that, it's built up however scheduling needs to meet forecast demand.

My current month, for example, is 4-on (finishing a 7 day tour that began last month), 4 off, 7 on, 5 off, 7 on, 5 off (including first two days of next month).

It's all over the map really. Depends if you have training or not that month. I only have one 7 day tour in MAY the rest training. April was 5 on 3 off 6 on 4 off 6 on 5 off. Some guys I fly with have 4 on 3 off all month. Off being Fri Sat Sun sign me up for that in the fall.

I'm doing 4 on 3 off in the XL for May. Every weekend off. Most guys want more time off between tours but I prefer the 4 day tours.

 

[pilot772]

April: 3 off 7 on, 4 off 4 on, 3 off 6 on, 3 off. (17 days of work)
May: 8 on 5 off, 5 on 3 off, 5 on 5 off (18 days) that being said in may the one and only day that I bid for off fell right in the middle of my 8 day on.

oh yeah I'm on the Ultra
