I'm currently at 925 TT, with 113 ME. I live about 60 miles north of NYC. If I were hired at 9K, what sort of flying would I be doing? I've read a lot on how many flights are single pilot, so what flights do FOs get? Since I don't live near a base that I would be likely to get, I suppose it doesn't matter where I am sent. But what does the work schedule look like? My idea is that on my off days I can commute back to my house here in NY. But I'm not sure a 5 on 2 off schedule would work with that plan. Also, what's the commitment time period? I read how it might not be best to just get to 1500 and then leave. My goal is to get to a regional airline where I can commute (although I understand it isn't easy even then). But my family is very important to me. Thanks for the help in advance!
