How many days do you work a month??
 

Seen my April roster and working 12 days!

Is this a normal amount for an airline pilot?

I always have inly 8/9 days off a month. With about 12 to 15 flying days and the rest as standbys or rest days.

Pinhead;
Well, I dunno! Are you a pilot??

Shouldn't this be on Terms and Endearment.

23 days working in a 31 day month. Only the minimum of rest until the crew shortage problem is resolved. Anyone fancy the Far East?

I have only worked 5 days this month soon I going to forget how to fly, but I have been flying for an Irish company that fly red planes. http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif

757/767 Intl for US major still on reserve - 19 days split into 3 blocks. Also, don't get anywhere near the 6 weeks vacation that UK/Euro airlines are required to give. If anyone wants to complain about US pilot pay, they can KMA.
