*What total salary, on average, can a first year F/O on reserve expect to make, after taxes? Be honest.
*How many legs per day can you expect to fly? Do they usually return to base or are they mostly overnights?
I don't mean to sound greedy, I'm just curious. Thanks, kiddos.
I will answer the legs per day question for you
If you are on reserve, especially in DTW plan on flying 5 legs a day and plan on working everysingle day you are on reserve (5 in a row) expect to be gone a bit. These things will improve with the new contract but the one thing that doesnt improve is our schedulers inefficient way of scheduling people. Also, until it is fixed, plan on being junior manned and extended 1 to 2 times per month. Not trying to discurage you but until we get a new agreement in place here and these things are fixed just being honest.
