About 37 Pilots and 4 Flying managers.
If your flight time meets the lines hiring minimums there is a 36 month flow through agreement with no reinterview. The interview for corporate IS the line interview unless you don't meet there mins then it is the same interview without a line pilot in the panel portion and the flow through is not gauranteed.
There is personal use of the Jumpseat for corporate after 1 year and it cannot be on the 72's.
Your hire date counts towards your line retirement but does not hold any seniority until you start on the line.
You bid 16 hard days per month minus holidays or vacation(2 weeks to start plus 4 floating) and once the schedule is set those are HARD days. Any additional flying is optional and paid at less than day rate.
Hiring goes by exec rec's/ internal app's(current employees ie. sort or ramp people)/ Interanal rec's/ outside apps. In that order
Excellent schedule, exec's, coworkers, flying, maintenance, equipment and average pay with excellent opportunity for advancement.
1/2 stay corporate and 1/2 go to the line.(About)
The line MUST be hiring to flow though or you might stay a little longer at your great corporate job.
They do have a commuting policy and you can commute it BUT it is very difficult as a new hire. Everything goes by seniority.
