Does anyone know if the contract is in place before ground training? FOs do get assigned a domicile after ground training as I understand it.
Do FOs usually move to assigned domiciles or do they commute?
It is kind of overwhelming when one considers FO pay, signing contract, plus not knowing if you will be assigned to the Gulf Region or Mid Atlantic Region till after ground training.
Judy did say she is reasonably sure one can get assigned to the region desired but no guarantees.
I’ll ask your questions to one of the pilots I mentor who works there. Off the top of my head. Contract starts after Sim training, Flight Safety in a Wichita (for initial) Fly Right in NC for CA upgrade.
Domicile assigned after training. It’s by a bid. You can switch bases as openings occur. Most pilots have a crash pad or rent a room. Long 12 hour days and usually 4 on 4 off or 4 on 3 off. Most pilots commute.
Most pilots get Mid Atlantic but some do get other areas.
