Ha… haha! 18 days off in November, group of 4 days off over Thanksgiving, two groups of 3 days off, four groups of 2 days off… I don’t work more than 2 days in a row.
Wait, wait, it gets even better! ON THE DAYS I ACTUALLY WORK: doze until 9am, eat breakfast with the family, hit the gym (or go fishing, or the beach, or NFL Sunday), eat lunch with the family… 2 pm: 10 min drive to the airport, 1 landing in the logbook, home by 8-9 pm, crack a beer, eat dinner with the family, watch news, then I sleep next to my wife
.
Wait, it gets better! I make $96/hr.
Waaaait, it gets even better! I’ve been here for 1.5 years with 200+ FO’s behind me... and some of the best dudes I've flown with.
Don’t forget, this place has been a “real” airline for only 16 years… Yes, there are some growing pains… exactly what you’d expect from a growing company in its teenage years with it's FIRST pilot CBA. However, if it’s this great after 16 years, I can’t wait to see what the next 16 years will hold. Any move I make will be a decrease in QOL!
Now your turn, A** Hat!

Wow! At first I thought someone was describing my daily life. Glad to know I'm not the only one that has it that "rough".
Make that 21 days off in November for me
.The rest of it is exactly like what I've had for a long time. For December, got Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the last few days of the year off. This is just terrible here! 
Still trying to catch up on the thread. Good stuff. Fly safe and have fun fellas!

Looks like I'll be in the January class. Anyone want to look into their crystal ball and take a shot at bases and equipment that will be up for grabs in January? I wouldn't assume any more 75 spots after several supposedly went to the December class. Hoping there are a few west coast options (IWA, LAS, LAX, OAK).
Also, fishing through this thread, it looks like VBD gets 10 guaranteed days off? Any truth to that?
Extremely excited to join the G4 team!
