OK,
I couldn't find the info anywhere (recent). Can someone shed some light on what to expect as a newbie at DAL.
Do we get a uniform allowance?
No. However Abbots has a new hire package for around $800 that includes hat, blazer, 3 pants, 3 shirts, wings, name tag, and epaulets.
What's the current schedule after your first two weeks of indoc?
Depends on a/c. Some get 3-4 days off...some get 3 weeks off.
What does A/C training consist of during the two weeks?
No specific a/c training during indoc.
How many days on the road for domestic vs. intl, reserve vs. line holder?
As a reserve I get 12 or 13 days off and the time away from base varies month to month.
What are turns like? - Is it like a SWA 25 min heyday, or can you mosey about the terminal drinking $3.50 lattes?
I've seen 50 min to 3 hours...just depends.
I got lots of "generic" answers for this stuff, but just looking for some more "realistic" expectations.
This may be a stupid set of questions, but hey, I'll ask them (there has to be AT LEAST 1 other newb thinking about this stuff!?)
Also, recommendations for Flight/Travel bags. Should I wait until I find out what plane I'm going to be on? (I'm assuming my backpack and Samsonite just won't "cut it!" anymore)
Appreicate any and all info everyone provides
