Every pilot's schedule in unique, and in this video I'll explain why!
I dive a little deeper and explain some variables that come into play when creating an airline pilot's schedule. From FAA regulations, seniority, aircraft type, domicile, reserves and line holders, there are a lot of different factors that come together in the end to give us our schedule for the month.

What would be a schedule for a pilot if that pilot is working for an airline and they are flying an ATR 72?

@RustySax1949 8 месяцев назад

@@Saramaikat - I think probably one of the toughest jobs in the airline industry has got to be "crew scheduling!" Between aircraft types, route requirements, flight deck crew requirements, cabin crew requirements, layover accommodations and so forth, they're constantly juggling. Quite possibly only ATC controllers at busy airports (LAX, SFO, DFW, ATL, JFK, etc.) might have it tougher? Anyway, mad props to those who do work in crew scheduling, right? Cheers from GEG!

@phantomphoenix9539 3 месяца назад

It’s always changing since there is so much movement in the industry right now 😬 I would say for the most part, wide body usually requires more seniority however there are new hires getting them right out of training as well! It changes monthly!

Hi! Do you get to pick your airport base? Or can they essentially make you work anywhere when you first become a pilot? Love your vids btw!

@Southwest737 8 месяцев назад

That’s also based on seniority. If the airline has, say, a Miami base, that base is going to be super senior because who wouldn’t want to live in warm, vacation destination Florida? So if you’re a junior pilot you probably aren’t senior enough to be based there. Whereas a base like NYC is likely to be super junior because of the high cost of living there.

@user-zz4iv1bs8f 8 месяцев назад

@@Southwest737 Thank you! After doing more research, I found this out and you have to commute to your base where you have to pay for your own flight to get there (I think). Do they pay for your hotel for the night? I was confused on other videos I watched from other RU-vidrs!

@Southwest737 8 месяцев назад

@@user-zz4iv1bs8f You don’t have to pay for a flight. You use your nonrev and jumpseat benefits to catch a free ride on a flight (if there are empty seats available). You do however have to pay for your hotel or crashpad as mentioned in the video.

@mikep9604 6 месяцев назад

Basically, pilots can have more days off per month than people in other jobs have. Generally, there is no straight answer to the question if training is hard or not, because it always depends on you and your own skills, and your ability to learn and receive new information. If you don't have problems at school, most likely you don't have great problems in flight training. But of course, you have to study and work in order to pass all the exams and the flight training.
