[QUOTE=calmwinds;2440668]Outside of the interview, my experience has been completely different. We don't sit on reserve for months on end, like SkyWest or Envoy. My buddy at SkyWest is ready to quit because he is bored sitting in a crashpad.

Except for a few as$holes, the people are pleasant to work with. If you can figure out PBS, you can get a decent line. My current line had 14 days off this month. You can pick up extra flying at 300%, meaning you can earn more than SkyWest or Envoy doing what you love to do: fly.

The training department, particularly when you get to the sims was top notch. The IOE instructors were top notch.

The only drawback, which doesn't affect me, is the health insurance.

So, obviously, you have never worked here and don't have a clue. And, if you do work here, then you are one of the as$holes I was talking about.[/QUOTE

Well most of what you said us correct except the part about the schedules. I'm going to assume you are NOT IAD based. The Fos get nothing what we want. I know how to bid my schedule and have not been able to get what I want because of Pre-awards and unstacking. We are short staff and no end in sight. For all the guys looking to come here and get time and find that appealing wait till your in month 6-7 still flying 90+ hours a month and can't move on to the next level. If your getting what you want good for you. I was OK the first year and half but these last 7 months are AWFUL
