edit: one of the requirements is year round scheduled airline service, I think some places with seasonal airline service still won’t qualify.

Do the global pilots who fly the 17/13 schedule get additional pay? Do you get crew meals or pretty much on your own for food? How is it flying with the cabin attendant, are they chill or is it like the majors?
Seems like a few XO pilots are leaving for greener pastures, does the company realize this and try to make the pay competitive?

Compensation is a topic on many internal calls but nothing firm as of yet. Time will tell.

We help each other out, they may get slammed with full service for a full plane, or they may have one pax who just wants to be left alone. If they can they usually try to see if we need anything up front like coffee/snacks etc … like anywhere else don’t be a jerk and it’s easy to get along.

I guess he got tired of his old man complaining about the airlines.

I see they advertise a monthly biddable flex schedule - how does that work? Line bidding or PBS? Both Global and 300? Also are upgrades seniority or based on experience, demonstrated performance? How long upgrade between Global/300? On Global, 3 pilot crews, and if so 2 PIC’s/1 SIC, or 1/2?
