What does the average day of the first year look like?
How long am I usually on duty? How many days/hours do you work?
Any Vacation days during the first few years?
How does the reserve work? If I am base in Memphis, are you on standby at home?
What does the average route look like?
Health benefits? Do they pay for family medical or just pilots?
Answers are probably hidden in this discussion. But I can't find them in a simple way.
Thank you for your help. Fell free to PM or answer on this thread.
Very new to the airline world, what is your background? Have you been flying in the military or are you looking for your first job in aviation? If you aren't coming from the military and are new to aviation, you aren't getting hired tomorrow by FedEx. Maybe you should be posting these questions in a different forum if you are as new to the airline industry as your post suggests.
