Training Contracts?
If so how long? Initial
Recurrent
I'm just trying to compare apples with apples.
Each airplane is staffed with three pilots. Lead pilot (captain), Captain, and SIC. The three pilots decide which days they want off among themselves. The lead pilot submits the days by the 15th day of the preceding month. These days get incorporated into the days off schedule and it is posted by the 20th.
2 year initial training contract. 10 month recurrent.
