I didn’t exactly word that well Lol. How many off days in a row are you given between your 3 to 4 day trips. Thanks for your arrogant reply. I actually Opened that door didn’t I Lol.

Ok rook, normal average trips at any regional and most Lcc’s and majors is 3-4 days in length ON AVERAGE, followed by 3-4 days off ON AVERAGE. Off days will be at least your contractual monthly minimum, 12–14days ON AVERAGE.reserve vs line holder being the difference.Anything above that is a bonus.

Awesome, don’t sound too shabby. Right now I am flying a 1900 in Alaska and flying 100 to 130 hours a month loading/ unloading and fueling. I am so ready for the 121 world Lol.

Sincerely I appreciate the information. I didn’t know what to expect.

Yeah , I would hurry up and get away from that . It made me tired just reading it . Get on with any regional and you can kiss the loading/ unloading, fueling goodbye.

I am a rookie at 1400 hours now. So a month away from finally hitting 1500. The 135 world in Alaska will teach you a lot but it’s labor intensive Lol. I am ready for the good life. I got an offer from Commutair and Skywest. The pay at Commutair is sounding much better. Seems to be a really good opportunity. I like the idea of a class of 12 instead of 80 also.

Thanks for taking the time to share information. Any idea if Commutair is flying into Mexico?

I have a little more that 1500 and have finished my ATP. I want to apply on airline apps, how long is the wait to hear back? Mexico flying does sound great.

I heard back in like 3 weeks. The Interview was a few weeks later. It’s fairly quick but I do recommend applying now. They are very welcoming. My Interviewed for Flight Attendant and it took her a month to hear back but same experience as me. It was very down to earth and welcoming.

Commutair has not been flying to Mexico for the past 3 months. United chose to put the Mesa E175s for now. But it come and goes. C5 was flying to Tampico, Aguascallientes and Puebla only. Not so interesting.

Can anyone confirm / deny the bonus structure? Is it 25,000 for FO pro rated in each check? What are the pay back terms on it?

When does it start?

I asked the recruiter this same question earlier this week. If I am understanding a FO will get 20,000 sign on bonus after 60 days of employment with a 12 month commitment.
If the employee chooses to take the retention bonus you would be $5000 the first year which yes is paid monthly. Then year two you would get $25000 paid over a monthly time. Once you make captain it goes to $50000 bonus that they pay spread over the 12 months. The retention bonus is a 4 year commitment but if you medical out, age out, or go to United airlines the 4 years is voided. The sign on bonus is lump sum and only 12 month commitment.
