1) What is the typical pairing for a junior line holder? 4/3. 4/4, varies., etc..?

2) Will crew scheduling approve drop trip requests? i.e. I don't want to work this month and don't need the money.. I request to drop each sequence.. Is there a place where a pilot can go look (like at Spirit and UA) to determine the chances of his drop getting approved? What about dropping reserve?

3) What are the reserve callout requirements?

4) Does F9 have airport standby? If so, is there a limit to how many times they can put you on standby a month, per sequence? Do you get paid per hour you sit, or do you sit for 8 and get paid for 4?

5) Does F9 have a min day guarantee for pay?

6) Does F9 have lost days during sequences?

7) Is anyone willing to PM me and send me a PDF of the contract so I can review and make my own educated decision?

8) How does DH pay work? i.e. 75%, 100%, DH on other carriers?

The interview invite caught me by surprise as I don't know much about F9. I'm a huge outdoorsman and love the tails..

1. Redeye

2. You can drop with caviots. Can’t drop below 50 credit at any point and have to finish at either 60 or 70 credit depending on the bid period. Drops are done electronically and are grid dependent.

3. 2 hrs for short call

4. No

5. 5 credit per duty period for unmodified sequences.

6. ???

7. I hope not. If your at an Alpa carrier a rep might be able to provide it to you.

8. 100%. 150% if you end up in a middle.
