Hey everyone,
I've been tossing the idea of going to PlaneSense for a while now, and i've finally come back around to it, and this time it's looking more likely. But i'm hoping some of you can answer some of my questions before I submit an application.
My first one, and a big one for me, is going to sound really weird for someone looking to get a new job...But what is the companies policy on vacation time, paid or unpaid? I ask because I am newly engaged and would likely be at the company just about a year or just under a year when I needed to take time off for my wedding and honeymoon. I have no problem taking the time off unpaid if we get minimal vacation time in the first year, but this is definitely something that is a big concern for me because I dont want to earn a bad reputation within the company, or possibly face reprimand for taking an extended vacation for my wedding and honeymoon.
My next question (and i know its been answered before but id really like it clarified) is what's the deal with the 8 days on and 6 days off? Specifically, how often/what are the odds that you're home on those 8 days, or youre away the entirety of the 8 days. Again, being newly engaged I would prefer to be home more often than not, but even being able to be home for one night halfway through the shift is a win in my book. I live 20 minutes from MCO.
Some other general questions include
How does the Sunday Premium work? Whats it all about?
What are the chances for pay raises once the jets come in?
(I'm interested in making a long term career at any company where I find a good find and a steady living wage)
Though the chances are slim to none, are there any travel privileges?
Do pilots get yearly uniform pay by chance?
That's all I can think of right now. I appreciate the answers in advance and look forward to hearing what everyone has to say!
