A few more Q's as I appreciate the feedback!
I have heard that about 20% of the group are permanent commuters, is this so?
Retirement benefits: Travel? Health? (someone mentioned a one-off 5K into an HSA...that won't cover much :-)
How long is the ground school portion? Is it in same location as interview?
Which A/C initial type necessitate a TDY, thus eliminating the hotel need?
For the 717 guys: This :06 minute landing credit- On a standard, average month, how much does this add to your monthly credit? 10-ish hours? Making the average monthly credit for a year 2 / 717 guy about 85 hours or so?
How far into training would we know our A/C?
Sorry for all the Q's, I am trying to jam a square peg into a financial round hole, trying to see if their is a way to get through.
Possibly more than 20%. If you are on resv you can arrange 12 days off consecutively.
you can still non rev if you retire. Assuming the TA passes you would be correct on the one time $5000 into the HRA.
Ground school is in the same place as the interview. Length varies pretty typical time frame. Only Airbus guys stay in base throughout training.
Not sure what this 6 minute landing credit for 717 you are referring to is?
You find out your plane on the first day.
