What is your realistic ideal schedule? Who offers it and what are you doing to get there?
Mine:
One of the only reasons I'm training to fly helicopters right now is to attain the 7/7 schedule (with the ability to be home even on work days). However, I don't really like where I'm training at, and also feel much more comfortable flying a fixed wing. I don't know much about what pilots consider a good schedule, but:
1) Are there fixed wing operators who offer 7/7? Maybe EMS outfits?Netjets?
2) Do you find other schedules more appealing? 5/2? Flex days?
I saw a thread recently that said someone's corporate schedule was 28/2. That sounds like a disaster.
