I assume seniority is moving rather rapidly.
I guess it is possible, but not very likely. Also you'd be in base in between trips, which at most are 5 days long.

The most continuous I have seen worked (not by me) was eight. Two, four day trips, back to back with thirty hours in base.

Yeah I realize this would probably be a "hellish" schedule for most, while being a perfect schedule for me. I'm not terribly familiar with 117. With Compass' PBS would structuring 3-4 four day trips in a row be viable? I assume this would force the rest of the month off.

Seniority I guess is moving rapidly (anyone can confirm?). Does the company have viable future plans for itself and/or it's pilots?

Seniority is not moving rapidly. It's industry standard at this point. There are no more "quick" upgrades. The FOs that bypassed upgrades to build their time are starting to hit that magic number. Unless we get more flying (which is purely speculative by the pilot group at this point) we are hiring for attrition.

Like I said not likely. You will be junior and you'd have to hope that 3 4 day trips fall to you and they happen to fit together just right as to allow them to be back to back to back.

Maybe possible but again it is not very likely.

Two weeks to two years...it depends on the seniority of the CA in question.
