3. Depending on your line..you might commute in the day of the trip and commute home after the last flight of your trip. If its an early morning show you might have to come in the night b4 and do a crashpad or hotel, and the same if your trip comes in late.
4. Paid for by the comapny at single occupancy
5. Perdiem is paid from the time the door closes on the first leg of your trip untill the door opens on the last leg of our trip. So departure time is 6pm on monday....you get back to base on thursday at 6pm. 72 hors pewr diem..and poly somehwhere around 15 hours of flying.
Hi- thanks for taking the time to reply to all of that.
I understand that the hotel stays during duty are paid for...but what about while commuting? I imagine that the company does not fork out the individual's hotel bill, just curious.
Is there a realistic opportunity to have a side job during the first / second years as a new hire FO? Or, is the schedule so "up in the air" (literally) that it is impossible to hold another job?
