Wow you guys fly a lot.

 

[Bertie Wooster]

Do they airline you around in Business class or is it in economy?

Overseas it business. In the US to include AK and HI its economy.

About schedules:
I was based in HSV and it was quite stable. I would consistently hold the beginning of the month off. That means a 17 day trip that started mid month and finished on the 30th 31st of the 1st. Now I am JFK based and this month my trip starts on the 22st and ends on the 31st. That makes for 10 days. However, I still owe the company 17 days per the contract. So, they assigned me 7 reserve days and they put them at the beginning of this month (1st until the 7th).
That gives me 14 days off from the 8th until the 21st of July. I choose to fly my schedule for 17 days in a row and the company make its "best effort" as they say, to accommodate you. It has worked out for me most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't. Of those 7 reserve days, I flew 5 and they sent me home for the other 2. So now I am at home on RS (residence standby) until the 7th of July at 2359Z.
So if they don't use me, (lets hope!!!) I will be at "home" for 16 days straight.
Now, that being said, I have to be reachable and flyable for those 2 more RS days.....so that means they can call me and have me on a commercial flight with 4 hours notice.
Hope this helps.
As a quick side note: I realize that this job isn't for everyone, but for me it works. I like the fact that the company buys me a ticket to and from my house and pays for the hotel while I in my base. No jump seating or crash-pads if you choose not to. The stress level for that part of the job is non existent.

17 days in a row? How do your wives put up with that? And kids?

Dude they probably love it.

 

[avbug]

17 days isn't very long.

Think of the 13 days off. That's descent.

 

[GuinessGuy]

17 straight is still 17 straight. That sucks!!!!

I come home from a 3 day and my 2.5 year old looks different, much less a 17 f'ing day trip.

That must be a great life..........

 

[sgu]

There's no need to talk trash. As they say, don't knock it 'till you try it. Enjoy your time at Jblu, it's obvious long haul is not for you.

 

[atpcliff]

Why is 17 days in a row of working good? Because it is a HUGE improvement over 270 days in a row, that's why!

And, because some guys, like me, prefer to commute once or twice a month max. I don't live in a hub, so commutes for most jobs are two or three legs. I would rather spend more time at home, and less time commuting back and forth.

Great life for me! Now that you've added your 2 cents....hurry back along to the Regional Boards. Besides, some of us here need to travel 'round the world to see all of our lil 2.5 year old kiddies!

When I was doing it, the girlfriend loved it, after about a week home she started asking if I couldn't volunteer for a trip.

(Never did ask about why the Harley crowd was always circling the block as I left the house!)
