Lastly, what is the average credit for a new hire on the 777?
Thanks so much for the info.
Brutal is exactly the right word. Plus, you're suffering from severe jet lag and for about three days you're out of synch with the rest of your world.
Expect your sit to be in CVG or LAX. There are always exceptions, but you can't plan on it. Maybe if you have a few RSV days at the beginning of your schedule you might get lucky and gain a few at home.
One of the nice things for a new hire is your schedule is just as good as the most senior pilot. 10 days off, two laps, one week reserve. 75(ish) hours of block plus whatever your deadhead pay works out to be. The downside is that it never gets better.
