On average, pilots get around 12-15 workdays per month. It may not seem like a lot but when you consider the travel time between flights and during the commute to and from the airport you’ll be working in, it can add up to 5-7 additional days per month spent away from home. You’ll also be away from home for two or more succeeding weeks if you have back-to-back flights and there’s not enough time to go home and come back for the next flight. Your schedules will be likewise full during holidays since those are the busiest days for airlines.
