So (assuming I get hired first, of course) if I am assigned the ATR, is it easy and common to move to a jet after a year or so? What is the procedure for doing that? And how long is this equipment/seat lock?
Thanks!
one year, unless you are 21/22 years old, it is extremely unlikely you will get the ATR. They are being parked, and very few are in each class if any lately. The downside is if you get it and we start shrinking, it could be hard to get off it. Pay is the same on all planes first year, however 2nd year the ATR is like $27/hr and the jets pay the same for FOs and pay about $34, so last thing you want is to get stuck if we go into a furlough situation.
