Yes, open time is paid at 1.5 EVEN 200% or more if you are REALLY greedy. Helps out EVERYONE. Keeps you in the right seat, and me towards the bottom of the CPT side.
Living in base is good. QOL WAS good for me, but now have to commute to FLA!!! Nobody commutes there, right? If you like back side of the clock flying, it is great.
Health insurance is decent. Could be better, but...
All in all people are good to fly with. Some good overnights. Just don't party too much so you won't get terminated.
EVERY place has it's good and bad points.
Are you being recommended? Ask that person. Hopefully he/she is a LINE pilot to shed some REAL light. Not smoke up your ....
I agree 100%. QOL is (at this point) ok if you live in base. Most pairings NOT commutable as published. Biggest negative (my opinion): General attitude recently adopted toward line pilots by the new"regime" (mgt.). Chief Pilot=Good Guy. Only one keeping morale up. Others recently transplanted from NWA mgt.= Not so good (as viewed by most of the pilot group). Have done good job putting morale into toilet. Good luck.
