You will be home based and must either get a crash pad for $200-300 a month and provide your own transportation, or get hotel rooms for your reserve/rest days at an average of 10 days a month with will put you anywhere from $400-1000 a month.
If you are commuting you will not have CASS agreements with Delta or Southwest.
Junior Schedules can have you out for 34 days straight if you get stuck with back to back days on over two months.
The 737 is on a seperate sub par LOA.
Was hired on the 777 and basic indoc, had me go on the 737, the other three quit. And I had to drive my car from the west coast to have it in CVG, get a crash pad. So, I left after a year, after Atlas bought it.. so it got from bad to worse. So I end up doing my math, I came back to the regional that I left from, now back home, where I can jumpseat with all the airlines, and get airline bennies for the family.
