Home Base, Time Off...
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum, thanks in advance to any replies.
I would like to put together a list of airlines who allow their
pilots to be based in their choice of city, meaning do they
buy you a ticket to go to work?
Also, which ones give you a 10-13 day OFF block with no or
minimum reserve at some place you don't want to be.
Preferable Intl., Cargo, B747...or anybody who just meets
this profile.

As a matter of fact my previous employer Kitty Hawk had better pay and schedule than the big, bad and evil AMR Corp.
What I am talking about is getting all or most of your days off in one batch, not spread out over the month. Rest such as pay and logo on the airplane does not matter.

. If I wanted a lot of time off, I would work the beginning of one month and the last 12 days of the next month. That would only work on the 747 patterns in Asia. The domestic patterns don't allow flying all your trips together due to 30 in 7 rules.
