Howdy guys,
Quick question:
As an E-jet FO , How many hours can you actually accrue on a 4 day trip. Basically are the lines efficient and take you over minimum credit?
Is there any difference between CRJ and E-jet lines credit wise, meaning longer hauls on either frame?
About to pull the trigger but need to break guarantee to survive and also have time to see the wife and kiddos.
Thanks.

Right now, you can expect 100 hours and 11 days off.

From the moment you are off IOE and can bid, you are talking about flying a lot - especially on the Ejet. Until you can get a bid, plan on being on reserve and flying a lot.
I hear that the CRJ guys have it better than the Ejet. One guy flying the CRJ on here got min credit for January and 14 days off in January.

It depends on where you are commuting from. If there is an early morning flight and a late flight, you can volunteer for ready reserve and commute. Most people either tough it out with a hotel for the month or get a crash pad. You are only talking one to two months at most.

As for PBS, yes you are incorrect about unstacking. Again. The PBS honors the companies preferences first so if they are short staffed it will cover all the days it needs to satisfy the company. Then and only then will it even look at what you put in your bid preferences. Does not matter if you have AWARDS or avoids. It will then try but it is already to late. If you still don't get that you need to step down from doing PBS. Holy cow dude. Can you say COOL AID DRINKER?
