My feeling is the longer schedules will be better. Otherwise you're just living out of a suitcase at home. 15/13 was awesome 8/7 was good too. 4/4 I doubt i'd like at all.
The huge aircraft order that was announced last Fall is based on around a ten year delivery schedule. We start taking deliveries of some of them in a couple of months. The longer schedules, 7 and 8 days, will only be in the newly announced bases, not the original bases. And, that's not to say that everyone will be on those. Four, five, and six days will still be options but we are worried that they will be few and far in between.

The FO pay, especially the first few years, isn't the greatest but you'll do ok after that as far as FO pay goes. Not as good as Netjets but decent. Seven and eight year FO's are in the $90-95 range with bonus and per diem. Hopefully the days of FO's going over five years are nearly over before they upgrade.

Good question. I do know that they are about 60% through the FLOPs furloughed list with only around 5-6 getting hired and now they're extending the olive branch to current FLOPs pilots to come over and interview as well. So, I really can't put a time frame on when they might call you. However, I would contact our HR department or the D.O. and touch base with them. They won't mind hearing from you.
