Trips are too long for me.

They are long, but there is an upside, you can actually unpack your bag once and a while.

I work on a similar schedule, and I'm looking at 38 days off (using 7 days vacation). Back to backs are KILLER, but for a young single guy, it's not a bad gig. Home basing is a huge deal, I have'nt had to request a jumseat in 2 years.

It would be tough to go back to 2on/3off/3on/3off,etc,etc.

If any World pilots have a moment, could you throw me PM. I have a few questions.

Thanks

1. MD-11 Atlanta @ DAL trng ctr or Long Beach with Boeing. ATL more tahn likely.

2. The new golden question with age 60 changes. Currently 6+/- yrs

3. 14 to 18 days is a fair guess but s a line holder life will improve. Some guys work a lot and some work at not working. I have heard of guys haveing 12 or less days out as an average.

4. 3000 is published and as for what is competive? If you meet the mins send them a resume with or without recs all that can happen is you don't get a call. I hve been out of the loop as to what they are looking for so I will refrain from mis info.

In other words, if you're a regional guy you can forget about it. Pr$cks

The vast majority of guys in my class came from RJ's. One had no jet time.

As far as being gone, lineholders can average 12-20 days off. Open flyers get 12 days off, but if they don't use you, you stay home (or whever you want that has an airport with 3 airlines) for weeks at a time. There is no rhyme or reason as to how they assign trips to open flyers. So, expect to make 65hrs of pay until you can old a line -- however you can be used more. Once you work beyond 14 days for the month you start beating your guarantee (4.8hrs/day.)

The layovers are awesome, but movement is slow.

Home-basing is the best thing since sliced bread.
