All pilots at National Airlines are home-based in the United States and are direct-hired to work from an approved home airport.
The typical schedule involves 17 or 18 days of work within a 30 or 31-day month, followed by 13 days off.
Crew members travel to and from work on their available days, not on their scheduled days off.
Pilots bid for their schedules in three-month periods, and days off are bid based on availability since flying is not published in advance due to the airline's business model, making the flying schedule flexible.
After one year of service, pilots are allotted 14 Paid Time Off (PTO) days annually, which can be used as either vacation or sick days.
Monthly pilot classes of 12-14 members are planned for the foreseeable future.
Vacation periods, bid in groups of five days, are awarded by seniority, with the 13 days off in a month combined with the five vacation days for an 18-day vacation twice a year.
