5) Is parking provided only for that base you're assign? Or do you get reimburse for commuting as well from another base.
6) What can I expect while on reserve as far as time on and off. 3 or 4 on and 3 or 4 off intervals?
CVG is my focus and I know I may or may not get it fresh out of class.
Thank you
1. Depends on the base. Check FFTpilots for a general guess
2. Not super senior but depends on the month and base. People pick different RSV's for different reasons
3. Depends on the base. ATL trips are more junior as there are less turns. Same with Denver. Other bases have a lot more turns so trips can go more senior.
4. 2 hour callout is the minimum. Usually youre given more time than that but you can def get 2 hour call outs. If youre 1:50 away just get there ASAP and it probably wont be an issue.
5. Parking covered in your assigned base if you want it. If you dont take the company parking you'll get a $36 monthly stipend.
6. Depends how you bid. If im on reserve I bid to have weekends off so usually its 5 on 2 off and then a like a full week off somewhere in the month. You have about 12/13 days off depending on the month but I think the bidding software guarantees a minimum of 3 days off unless you waive that restriction.
