Can someone give me an idea of a typical monthly schedule?

I have a friend thinking about taking a street captain slot there and I don't think he realizes what he's getting himself into.

He flew the SAAB for a little while and has been flying Beechjets for the past couple years..

Thanks

he better like the northeast as thats where it is junior (DUJ would be most junior i imagine). if he likes 6-8+ legs w/ no autopilot all with 3+hr sits in PIT then he should sign up. the chief pilot was originally the chief pilot for orville wright's 135 set up. oh and he better be sharp on his paperwork skills as each airplane has on average 4 mel's. all that for $28/hr!

He flew the Saab for Colgan so MELs shouldn't be an issue.

He thinks he's going to get a 4 on 4 off type schedule and I laughed...

Mesa lounge was down when I posted this..

average is 12 days off for a lineholder. There are 3 CA's and 3 FO's in most domiciles. The Top 2 CA's and FO's usually get every weekend off. I am the most senior FO and have a 2 day weekend, a 4 day weekend, and two 3 day weekend in every 28 day(4 week period). The least senior captain and FO work every weekend usually with Tues, Wed, Thur off. Also, you are in your domicile everynight, 99% of the time.

Try 4 on 3 off, and that's only when he gets decently senior. He can plan on a 6 on 3 off on reserve when he starts (only gets 8 days off on rsv) This place does not smell like roses in any way, shape, form, or fashion.
