Ah, the highspeed group. One reason I prefer to fly highspeeds. It is very similar to my previous schedule and I really enjoy that kind of schedule.
Freight Pilot Schedule?

My schedule is pretty easy. Mon-Thurs show at 1830, fly one leg. sleep five hours and fly back usually arriving around 0730 in the morning. It's the easiest run I've had.

I forgot to mention that my run always goes from Monday through Friday with weekends and most federal holidays off. I am also home every night and have the morning free to get things done, or just sleep in. Good luck finding a schedule like that at a regional.
and im gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha

I still really enjoy it. Weekends off, home every night, and good flying.

7 weeks! That's awesome! Do you need a lot of seniority where you work to get that or is that pretty standard?
BajtheJino
I'm looking at you.
Thats first year. Next year I'll get 8 and max out at 11 for an FO. Captains with 5 years in the company get 17 weeks a year.

Holy crap. 5 year captains get over 4 MONTHS of vacation per year? That is incredible.
What's a 5 year captain make where you're at?
BajtheJino
I'm looking at you.
If you go off the straight 5 year scale its $51980. Not great but when you take into account the vacation, being home, 401k, and the routes it can't be beat.

No kidding... 52K isn't bad at all for working 8 months a year on a 5 and 2. That's really 78K on an annualized basis.
I sure hope some of the kiddies out there are hitting you up for recs.

I do 18 days on and 12 days off. During the 18 days on I can be sent anywhere the company sees fit or sit at home on call.
My company flies a mix of nn-demand and contract work.
One contract you sit more than you fly and make good per diem.
On another contract you will fly 6-8 hrs a day have 12-16 hr duty days. Quite, Fun but you get pretty beatup after 18 days of it.
The rest is on-demand and that is feast or famine. It is mostly famine right now but the tide is turning I think.

This is no laughing matter.
Jesus. 17 WEEKS a year? That's like being a frickin teacher. You are wise in the way of the Force, baj. I can't believe they don't trumpet that on the front page of the (edit: Your employer) website! That Captain pay is pretty similar to what a lot of freight guys pull down on turboprops with 1 week off a year, and you can quite comfortably on it if you're not a yuppie swine. Sign me up!
