8-10 days off a month and 90-100hrs, 76hrs seems to be a thing of the past, thats when you would see @15 days off.
You hear pilots complaining of 100hrs but don't complain about the O/T that goes with it.
All in all not bad not great but not bad.
Biggest frustration I see is the constant under crewing and slow reaction to fix it or the inablitiy to fix due to the shortage of training staff thanks AAR reducing our numbers prematurely.
Cost of living has gone up alot in the last year alone,I think everyone is feeling that.
No shows and upgrades on the 777 means busy summer,lack off MMF crews means busy summer and the 330 is filling in everwhere means busy summer, could be why the upgrades we need on the bus are slow to come.
