thanks in advance!
yes, plan on guarantee. There is a program that has an 80 guarantee but it’s full up right now. Once you’re senior enough you can bid a few of the SEA hard lines that are 72-78 hours. It varies. In general you’ll fly 25-45 and be paid 64. You will be on short/long call reserve at hotels all over the planet. Most lines are one block of 16 days, some lines are two blocks broken up.
OT is currently available, but is best described as feast or famine most often. With the pilot shortage we seem to be losing on average 1 a week, so the OT opportunity may be more prevalent, but I’d just plan on 64. There is soft money for taking coach instead of business/first, but again I wouldn’t budget on it.
