What is a typical schedule?
Would it be difficult to get PDX as a new hire?
Once assigned a base can you be bumped out of it?
Does AMF provide a hotel at the outstation?
Year one takehome pay per month?
Thanks in advance for any answers
1. Schedule (average bepends on base, run ect.)
Bank Flight (junior)
7am show, get to hotel around 11am. stay at hotel during day
5pm pm show, get home around 8pm
UPS Flight (senior)
5:30 am show, get to hotel around 10am. stay at hotel during day
3pm show, get home around 5:30
2. I heard PDX is where there putting people. don't know why because where overstaffed. There is a lot of movement east so by the time the new guys get here it may be less populated.
3. If they assign you a base it us yours unless you bid something else. If they make you move unwillingly they will pay for any moving expenses.
4.most, if not all flights with over a 2 hour layover have a hotel or apartment.
5.expect $1700 month w/o an FO; with an FO expect about $1900 month.
