The pay here at G4 is better than a regional, you fly bigger airplanes, and living in Florida and working here
might be better than commuting to NYC, DTW, or wherever.
If your used to getting a lot of time off, a good relationship with management, work rules, a lot of vacation time or just a good QOL in general? Don't come here, this is NOT your QOL airline. The upgrade is not nearly as fast now either, probably 1.5-2 year for someone walking on the property now. As a junior new hire there is a 90% chance you will have 10 days off on reserve in FL. You may get OAK or IWA if you get the AB. You will probably be TDY at least one or two months when your junior against your will. The company will not tell you what slots are available for what aircraft in ground school. You show up and bid per seniority/age in class, probably during the 1 week. It is highly unlikely you will get the 757 but if so HNL is more junior. If you try to commute while working here you will never see your house.
Contract? the million dollar question but I wouldn't expect anything in less than a year or 18 months...
Hope that covers most of it.
