I have never been junior manned. Because I received a MKE line while still in systems, I am protected. If you can hold a line, as an FO, at either MKE or CAE. You are somewhat protected from JMs. I start early on day one and am usually done between 7p-1145p on day four so there’s not much they can do to me.
This is my 2nd 121 job. I was guaranteed 11 days off at my last job but usually got 12 as a lineholder. At AWAC I usually have 13-14 days off.
At my last job I usually flew and was paid for 75-80 hours. At AWAC I never, ever, ever credit(paid) less than 96 hours before picking up extra flying. Because of pay protections you make more money here.
Today, I flew .9 hours from AZO-ORD then took a deadhead .8 hours from ORD-MKE but was paid for three hours.
On Sunday and Monday, I flew for 4.6 hours and was paid for 21 because I picked up extra flying that was in critical time. It’s easy to do. You will make ALOT of money here for being a “regional” airline pilot.
As a Capt. you will get JMed more and make $140 while bent over. It’s just a rite of passage.
