Do they buy you a ticket home (like the 777/747) for your days off, or it's up to you to get there? Commute on days on or off?

Thanks.
Rough math came out to be around $43,000. But your first few months (4) on training pay is around $1700/month after benefits/taxes. Upgrade is going junior. Capt would yield you around a rough average of $75,000. It's a 60 hour guarantee with blended reserve in the lines. Lines are only worth 30-40 hours on the 737. 4 legs of flying per day(errr....night), short flights other than YYC, long duty days, long sits at sort waiting to be loaded/offloaded, rest is during the day.

Get only 12 days off on the 737. CVG based unlike the 777. So no airline tickets or hotel provided in CVG. Commute is on your days off. Limited JS agreements. No Delta agreement. Reserve call-out is 1 hour so you better like Florence/Erlanger.
