1. Could someone comment on the CVG domicile? Is it AB or MD or both? Also, how long could a new-hire expect to wait before being able to hold it?
2. Vacation at G4. Could you describe the bidding process and how it affects your schedule in a vacation month(virtual credit, trip touch, etc...)?
3. Is VPS a base? I've seen announcements saying so, but no hard info on APC. If yes, what ac is/are based there?
4. Can virtual basing be awarded to new hires or does it go more senior?
CVG is airbus only. Seems relatively junior. If not awarded during training likely very soon after.
We get x amount of weeks of vacation depending on longevity. You must take vacation, if you do not bid it, it is assigned. Vacation must be taken a week at a time at a minimum. ie some people take a week here and there, others take weeks back to back if they can hold it.
VPS is a seasonal base, not a permenant base. It could become permanent in the future though if it does well enough. It is staffed with virtual base (VBD) pilots currently.
VBD is a mix! Lots of senior people, lots of junior people.
