Everyone had a chance to bid. There is a mix of senior and junior going over there. some aren't going for 3 4 or 5 months, but it was pretty obvious that they weren't going to get enough people that were willing to go for those time periods

I’d say anyone can bid Europe if they want. They got more captains that signed up than FOs

Is Europe going to be only based in Czech Republic? or another city? Any idea if the type of flying is out and backs or 2-4 day trips across Europe?

Thanks!

All the flying is out of the CR (Brno I believe). All the trips are out and backs with only a couple of exceptions.

Just a few questions guys and gals,

-Can a new hire expect to fly more than min guarantee?
-Does reserve work like any other airline except it is only short call?
-Average of 12 days off a month?
-Will new hires have a chance to do any of the EU stuff? Not a bad way to supplement income on first year!

Thanks,
Hella.

Yes all our out bases you’ll do from 70-90hrs


Rsv is mostly stby which is long call. MIA has short call which is short call, if they assign it to your schedule.

12 hard days off a month

New hires should be fine for Europe as long as they’re out of training early enough in the season to do it

How long would it take to hold CLE as a base? What does a typical schedule look like?

Thanks.

So, with the addition of the NG's how does the type rating work with a potential new hire?

Was it solely a 737 CL type before and then a differences course? Are new hires being typed with a 737 NG rating?

Can potential new hires expect to fly the NG at all? Are the classics EFIS equipped? (RNAV, RVSM, etc)

thank you

All 737s are the same type rating.
