Also no home basing, and the latest scheduling rumors have you back in CVG every day. So no hotels and limited per diem. It is a wash for 747 FOs to go to the 737 as Captains financially. 777 FO probably will net more. 737 FO vs regional FO is a tough call. Yeah the pay is better on the Guppy, but 20 days on + all out and backs will probably increase your expenses vs holding a decent line at a regional. Unless you live in or move to CVG.
I pretty certain we have to go down and then back up the Furlough list before we can hire off the street. I expect the recall rate to be low on the way down, but on the way back up its in or out, so they might get more to bite.
