No days off after training. We get paid for ground and sim training. We get paid extra for home study modules which happen about once a quarter.
Trip rig pay is kinda low. But we were trying to get higher rates in the new contract as we were so far behind.

I will add schedules are becoming a little more commuter friendly as only about 10 percent of the pilots live more than a few hour drive from MSP. If anyone wants to PM me I can send the pay rates.

You can accept another JA only if you want for the remainder of the month. Obviously it pays well to get JA'ed if you have nothing going on
