At Avelo are days off in blocks, or scattered thru the month? Am I able to drop and pick up trips to try and group a block of days off together, making it more commutable.

With regards to an upgrade, would it be better to stay where I am to gain 1000 hrs USA part 121 (currently have 500hr) and apply for Direct Entry Command, or come over now and start gaining seniority. Is there any seat lock if I were to come now which might prevent me from upgrading at the 1000hr mark. Are FOs being upgraded regularly or are the slots being used for DECs?

Min guarantee is 70 hours, what is a monthly average? Just wondering how long it would take to crack it another 500hrs.

Would be nice not to have to worry about jet lag, or waking up wondering where I am.

Thanks all.

CS.
Commuting in General sucks, I would look to companies that have a base where you want to live. I would not chase after the possible quick upgrade vs good company near home.

Not as a new hire. Vegas, New Haven or ILG are your likely base choices. Expect about 6 months before getting MCO but at current growth is stagnant at MCO.

pretty nice of them to pass up on all the FOs already on property. Do they not have any that are ready to upgrade?

Many of them have not met the 121.436 minimums yet but Upgrades happen Very Fast at Avelo.

I realize most trips are day trips at Avelo. How many days off can you reasonably expect to get in a row? I like long stretches of work then time off.

Same story most places. High attrition combined with pilots being hired with 0 121 time means captain slots nobody is qualified to fill. Combine that with some Florida FOs who don't want to commute to other bases just to get in the left seat.
