That's good to hear, something to aim for. Great company, worth the pursuit. You never know, demand could change and the PIC requirement won't matter anymore.

This is great info - thank you for summarizing it for us. As a non-airline guy (at the moment), I have a few questions:



- What is a Duty Rig and What is a trip rig? What do the ratios mean?

- How does leave work/how is it bid for new guys?



Thanks!

Duty rig of 1/2 = 1 hour of pay for 2 hours duty.

Trip rig of 1/3.5 = 1 hour pay for every 3.5 hours away from base(trip time).
