9 on 7 off... and they can fly you into your days off, you are paid overtime. you need 250 hours in the jet before you're considered for upgrade.
You are correct, the current schedule is 9 on 7 off. However, no one is required to work extra days. Occasionally, extra days are available for extra pay, but no one is ever forced to work them. As far as the 250 hr requirement for upgrade, I don't believe we have any such policy.
There are currently three pilot bases: Sacramento, Southern California, and Phoenix. There is also a new policy which allow pilots who choose to work double rotations (17 on 15 off) to live anywhere they wish. I do not know if this schedule is available to new hires.
