That is what I'm waiting for. So hopefully I get a call next week.

Certainly, 180 is even better if it is true!! Best Luck to everybody.
sorry to burst any bubbles, but in an internal weekly memo they stated, 40 off the street pilots had been hired, we hired 60 furloughed Mesaba pilots, which leaves 28 spots left for the 128 pilots they planned to hire through the end of the year. wishing you all the best of luck, i know personally some CA's that are leaving next month for Jetblue, hopefully more hiring will continue this spring.

Default show me the money

Can anyone answer the following juicy questions?:

*If I'm not married and don't have a "significant other", can I choose a sibling to be eligible for unlimited pass travel, as parents are?
*What is the "activation fee" for pass travel?
*Are we eligible for buddy passes for friends upon completion of training? If so, how many per year and what do they cost?
*Is per diem paid during training or just base salary?
*What total salary, on average, can a first year F/O on reserve expect to make, after taxes? Be honest.
*How many legs per day can you expect to fly? Do they usually return to base or are they mostly overnights?

I don't mean to sound greedy, I'm just curious. Thanks, kiddos.

No that left with northwest.
*What is the "activation fee" for pass travel?
50 for everyone
*Are we eligible for buddy passes for friends upon completion of training? If so, how many per year and what do they cost?
buddy passes left with northwest. we dont get them

*Is per diem paid during training or just base salary?
you dont even get salary. you get a stipend of 200 or 300 bucks a week. i dont remember the exact amount.
*What total salary, on average, can a first year F/O on reserve expect to make, after taxes? Be honest.
If you have all the benefits (medical, dental, 401k, vision, etc) then your check on the 1st will be about 500 bucks. Your check on the 16th will be about 1000 bucks when they add in your extra hours and your perdiem. It has been a while since I have been a first year f.o. so it may not be as bad as I remember, but thats what comes to mind.

*How many legs per day can you expect to fly? Do they usually return to base or are they mostly overnights?
no one could answer that question till you get your schedule for the month.

I will answer the legs per day question for you

If you are on reserve, especially in DTW plan on flying 5 legs a day and plan on working everysingle day you are on reserve (5 in a row) expect to be gone a bit. These things will improve with the new contract but the one thing that doesnt improve is our schedulers inefficient way of scheduling people. Also, until it is fixed, plan on being junior manned and extended 1 to 2 times per month. Not trying to discurage you but until we get a new agreement in place here and these things are fixed just being honest.

Oh well. It was nice to hope I was going to get a call. My times are probably on the low side of what they are seeing. I'll keep instructing and try next time.
