You can work that paid week off if you like for double time. Per diem while away from home us $32 per day. They say they provide hotel and rental car while away. Was told not to expect 300 hrs a year in flight time. Hope this helps. I am heading up for final interview in a week but would like to talk to pilots working there. Management always makes things sound much better then things actually are.
That's not too bad!!! So, if there was a Newark floater, do you have to airline out of Newark? Would they do SWF or POU?
