How can I best prepare prior to my start date? What’s the current wait time to hold a line?? As a newly hired FO on the jet, what can I expect my paychecks to be in training? After training? First year realistic pay roughly? Would it be a smarter idea to move to Seattle area while on reserve? Any other insights or thoughts appreciated.
