Is a 16 on / 12 off schedule possible with FlexJet?

Are the overnights all short ie 10 hrs or longer?

Thanks!

All depends, its kind of random.

16/12 is not available, since the new bidding I have not been on the road for over 8 days straight.

The overnights vary, but my average over the last 8 months has been a bit over 13 hours. Of course, sometimes if they don't have anything scheduled, you'll be in the same hotel 2 nights (or more... rare). My longest scheduled overnight was 21 hours as we had a late night flight scheduled to land after 1am.

My friend is a new hire and he said he met a Captain who has a 7 on 11 off rotations. How common is that? Is this because he’s senior?

Thanks.

If he's a DRL captain, and that works between him and his two other captains
Then sure, it's possible
