Quick comparison - actual hours/month, mil leave, etc.
Here's what I learned/know about CAL so far. Anyone working there feel free to add their inputs!
- Guarantee 72/76 hours
- Lineholders on the 737 seem to get about 90 hours/month
- Minimum 12 days off per month
- Military guys can take 4 days of mil leave per month without too much hassle, and they'll still fly about 79 hours per month
- Desired that mil leave scheduled prior to the bid. I've heard that at SWA, some mil guys will "drop" a trip after the bid and then pick up open time for year 2 pay. Not the case at CAL.
- A Reserve - 9 hours from notification to pushback
- B Reserve - 3 hour callout
- As of now, there seems to be potential for rapid upgrade, especially at EWR.
What about Delta/United/NWA? Does anyone have comparable info on other carriers? I'm just trying to compare apples to apples, particularly between CAL and DAL.
Thanks,
Riddler
