Schedule: 17 days a month, so 13 or 14 off depending on the month. Until you are junior manned...except for vacation, they can and will junior man you on any day. They don’t care about your child’s wedding or any other family event. So you have to call off fatigued, or if you’re home you never ever answer your phone.

Pay: About $52/hour first year, and it nearly doubles second year. 68 hour guarantee. Don’t expect to break guarantee except for junior man pay.

Base: CVG

Paid Out of Pocket: hotel while in training, and let me tell you...there’s not much in the bustling metropolis of Wilmington, OH.

Hotels/Per Diem: Hotels are generally good. Domestic per diem is $52/day and international (not including Canada and Mexico) is $79.75/day.

We are in very contentious contract negotiations with no end in sight. The company has made no movement at all since our current president came on property a little over a year ago. Do what you want, but this place is a mess right now.

Hope this helps.
Thank you for your response I was looking for honest opinions
