Schedule can look however you and your teammates want. The only written rule is you must cover the airplane with 1 day overlap. You can work 20 days a month if you want or only 8. The unwritten limit is a minimum of 4 on per rotation. You could do a 4 on, 3 off (my teammate does this). Mine varies to give me certain days off but I shoot for 8 on for the bonus.

Hello, creeping around here after hours. How easy is it to be the guy who works 8 days a month?

It's all about who you have on your team. You get to pick your teammates so you would have to find 2 other pilots who want to work a bunch (+15 days). The only real problem with it comes up when someone has training. While one pilot is in recurrent (about 10 days), the remaining 2 pilots have to cover the rest of the schedule and that can be difficult if someone only wants to work 8 days.

Another note is the pay. Working only 8 days will dramatically reduce your monthly income and also remove all bonuses. Most people who do 8 days a month are very senior and about to retire

Copy thanks, it seems like a very interesting dynamic for a large company.

Friend of mine is a Red Label Captain… he said that the captains assigned to the tail make their own schedules with eachother, some stick to a 7 on 7 off, it really depends on what group you get invited into.

Any idea how far out they schedule? 1 mo, 6, a year? Or does that vary as well?

Varys on the groups. Some like the 7 on 7 off and they can look at their schedules months and months out. Others are more flexible and it varies.

You’re years away from being in a red label crew. So all of this could change.

Undoubtedly, but thanks for the input!
