Thanks for your help
Sort of!
If you come in at 1,000, you'll be an FO for 50 hours (our FAA waiver requires you to be an FO with us for 50 hours and until you hit 1,000).
While you're an FO, you'll fly wherever we need you in the system.
After, you'll be a restricted Captain and will have a base. Restricted = lower weather mins and additional mentoring.
When you hit 1,200TT, you'll be an unrestricted Captain and will have a base.
Once you hit 1,800, you will be at our preferred min for 1900 Captains and can transition. With that position, you can either have a base or be home based depending on your wants/needs and what is available.
