In training due they let you travel PS to/from home? Is it practiced by many? How hard is it to get the RJ with prev. 121 experience? How about SLC as a base? Is a crashpad needed in SLC if commuting? Thanks.
Hiring looks good through early next year.
Upgrade on the brasilia should be feasible in 12-18 months IF you have 2500TT and 1000 in a crew environment...all the CFI's on the Bro won't be eligible to upgrade, so you will bypass them.
They turn on your travel benefits very quickly, and have been known to PS folks home during training...that is EXTREMELY unusual in this industry, so I wouldn't depend on it.
If you have 121 turbine time, you are almost guaranteed the RJ...whether you want it or not.
SLC is available for some new hires right off the bat due to growth...but there are a lot of senior folks there, so you probably won't have a line for a while. You would probably need a crash pad...commutable lines usualy go senior at any company.
