I do 10 days away from home this month. Day 1 and 10 are both on duty paid travel days, leaving 8 days to work. I have 3 flights and 2 deadheads in those 8 days. My days off will be in Fort Worth, Salt Lake, and Ontario CA this this month. There is no crash pad, there is no jumpseating to/from work. We keep the air miles and most hotel points. If there's no Hotel van, or car service booked, they put on our schedule to use the company Uber account. If we're in an airport over 4 hours we use the company credit card and go to the admirals club. If we international deadhead over 3 hours it's business class or better, or you can take extra pay to ride coach. First year pay here is $124ph at a 64 hour min guarantee.... or $95.2k to start. Top step CA is $297ph. I've been home since the 21st of last month..... you? Try it before you knock it.
Dera and TC both made good moves.
I think the other part of it is cargo carriers that don’t fly their own paint are somewhat like regionals. Obviously Atlas has their own paint, but cargo carriers “borrow” call signs from FedEx or UPS. The model is the same, the pay scale is way better though. As far as stability idk if places like southern or atlas are too notch especially as Amazon brings in their own flying. This is just an opinion though and I’d like the discussion on this because the cargo carriers have always been an interesting route to take besides the LCC’s
