Do you get paid while deadheading? What are the rules like for commuters?
What is the uniform allowance (if any)?
Are Jepp chart (and maybe even binder) provided?
Hotel is provided. Double occupancy until you start APT/sim, then single after that. Deadhead pay is half credit (50%). No uniform allowance; cost is deducted from your paycheck $10 each check. Jepps provided.
Reserve depends on your base. At MDT you're likely to be off of reserve very quickly (1-2 months) because of high attrition. LGA has been slow lately, but the latest new hire class had a few going there, and my guess is that the next class will too. I don't know that anyone has gone to SYR in a while. I've been on reserve in ROA for 6 months and have finally gotten a build up line for March, but one of my classmates is the only straight reserve for the month. ROA hasn't gotten anyone new since we got here. Nobody has gone to EWN in a while...I'm not real sure about the others (CHO, SBY). But I guess the good news is that there has been least one class a month so far this year, so more than likely you'll be able to get off of reserve in a decent amount of time.
