Just trying to get a feel for how programs are done and if it’s a chance to go straight into large cabin.
You can not go straight into ILC. If you have considerable amount of G time flying international and a ILC team wants you it’s possible after 6 months. The company wants you to understanding how Flex operates before they invest big bucks in a type (doesn’t matter if you already have one, gotta do it again). There’s a few guys jr to me on the 650 and I’d estimate it took 6-9 months to move over. The most jr 650 CA is 686 out of 810 pilots. We’ve hired over a 100 this year, he was a pre COVID upgrade. Hope this helps
ILC starts at 140k a year and your team bonuses can be up to 50% of your base salary.
