The GUM flying is done by CAL Pilots. Bidding out there/back is 'seamless' so to speak. The GUM Ops does operate on a different certificate, but outside that, it's all done from the 'same' CAL Master Seniority List. The only list's that are 'separate' is the FA seniority lists.....AirMike vs CAL.

Not sure on the specifics, but depending on your length/or commitment to be based there (I 'think' 18-24 months), there is company paid moved expenses factored in (car/household/ect)......as well as a living expense too - IE rent $$ given to you monthly (somewhere on the order of $1000/mo). I have never done this myself, so maybe those who have can touch more specifically on that.

**GUM flying is all B737/800 flying....LN Pay Rates.

**STAFFING: CA-52 FO-67 (numbers as of May 2010 staffing)

**Seniority Ranges: CA 11/83 --->02/96
FO 04/87---->11/07

**Outside of the "Island Hopper" trip, there are not many 'overnights' so to speak.....so your in your own bed a lot more than other CAL flying state side. Many guys/gals bid their schedules to fly first or last half of the month, and back the following month up in the opposite sense giving large amount of days off in a stretch....enabling time off for travel/or long distance commutes.

**As far as the in/out of staffing, I would guess the top 1/3 of the FO's list has been pretty stagnant.....as well as the top 1/2 of the CA's list being the same. Since it's a 'small base', very much a family feel.

--------------------------------------->

NOTE....as EWR pointed out, IF there are now /700's based there....figure 'blended rate' (average/divide LN vs SN to get pay rate) pay on VAC, Sick-time, and Training.

Otherwise, it's "Fly it like you stole it"....AKA you get paid LN for flying /800 a/c, or you will get paid SN for flying the /700.
