Thanks for info Open.
Keeping on the "hiring" thread topic... I HAVE read this thread, but appreciate more current info re QOL for a new-hire:
1. Min days off?
2. Commutability of reserve (junior line)?
3. Probability of extension into day off?
4. Other current/trending QOL considerations (other than sub-par $$$/hr) for a newbie?
5. Probability ORD will continue to be a domicile?
I live in Midwest and ORD would be first choice for domicile. Have not submitted app yet.
Current RJ Capt/LCA. ~12,000 TT.
THANKS for any/all updated info!
1.) 12 days off
2.) Reserve C, 1200-2230 is most commutable generally if you can get home after 2130 scheduling might let you out early, other reserve times will be commutable on 1 end
3.) It's difficult for scheduling to JA, you cannot be JA'ed on reserve while calling for a release
4.) ORD might not be obtainable for a while, last new hire class anyone who wanted ORD all went to DEN, go back and read previous pages really, differing opinions on this one
5.) Who knows really?
I was hired around 3500TT, I've been here a year
