I hear health insurance costs less for coal miners if you have a family and check the beds for bed bugs at the stellar layover hotels.
But it'll be worth it because they're getting 757s!
Have fun wanding the pax as the FO cus you're the new security coordinator!
Only crappy hotel is laquinta in Naples Florida. Usually a Hilton or IHG product. We are home based, no commuting. Wanding? Yes, security is part of the charter biz. Upgrades are merit based. We like to see how well new applicants perform before we turn them loose. Time in seat? Yep! New captains make mistakes. For some of our new captains , this is their first captain position in a turbojet under 121. We don't have a union and as far as I'm concerned it can stay that way. Unions only protect weak pilots. They hide under a contract. Saw that a lot at comair. We've terminated weak pilots in training and have downgraded captains. Overall it's a great place to work.
Go troll somewhere else.
