The company schedules you for 12 hours EVERY DAY, whether its flying or sitting standby, it frequently ends up being 13 or 14 hours of duty. You will airline/ fly/ sit stby every day 1 through 7 and will be forced to call fatigue when you just cant take it anymore.
You will be lucky to find time to excercise once or twice a week, and will have no time to enjoy the cities you visit as 10 hour overnights are the norm. You are given 2 meals a day and are required to pay tax on the third if it is ordered. Some of the food is good, you will learn pretty quickly the cities to avoid ordering from.
You have no schedule while on the road and will frequently flip
from day to night to day again, and still be expected to manage
your rest to fit whatever schedule is given you. If it is legal you will get it and do it.
There are First officers with 10 years who have not upgraded and
there is no way to plan when you will upgrade due to no retirement
age. If you dont have 1000 hours pic this is not the place to get it as upgrades for new hires will be 10+ years.
With all that said your health care is free, you are based from one of the 100 cities, you dont travel on your days off, and the payroll is made on time. If you truly want to know what is taking place and
make an educated decision about your future go to: genuineqs.com and your questions will be answered.
Best of luck to those who are selected and choose to go but do so with eyes wide open, once you are on line and working you are nothing but a cost unit.
