Interline agreements = None. No travel bennies.
QOL = It's what you make of it. 25 minute call-out. On call 24 hours of each day that you are scheduled ON. Scheduling can be good to you if you are flexible to them when they need you to be. If they ask you to give up a day off and you say no, they will remember that when you want an extra one. Until part 121 Supplemental goes away, the company can and will put you at rest for a 3 or 4 hours while on the road, have you fly for 5 hours and then rest for 4 more to give you 8 total hours of rest in a 24 hour period. (I still don't see how that is legal) Your 1 off in a 7 day period will often be given to you while sitting in a hotel in Laredo TX.
Health benefits after 90 days
No Union = No commuter clause. You have to at least have a crashpad near Willow Run. Ann Arbor is too far to make the 25 minute callout, so you are pretty much stuck to Belleville and Ypsilanti.
They say 13 hard days off per month. This is during normal business when the company is not short staffed. As of right now about 60-70% of the DC9 FO schedules have 9 or 10 days off per month. In return for less days off they will give you 300-700.00 per the month for less days off. Not an option however, if your seniority gets a line with 9 days off, then that is what you get.
Just because you interview for a DC9 FO spot, doesn't mean you will get it. They have called guys to offer them a job in the Falcon 20.

The company takes your cell phone number now instead of pagers. They give you a 10.00 credit each month for a texting plan. They basically text you to let you know where you sit on the board. So if you move to the next guy in line, they will text you.
Starting base pay is $37699.00 for an FO on the DC9. 55 Hour guarantee with 57.00/hr on the DC9 and 50 or 52.00/hr on the Falcon20.

Hi!
Starting pay on the DA20 was $33K. -9 pay sounds right.
The QOL at USAJet WILL go up DRAMATICALLY when the previously mentioned new Flight/Duty/Rest rules go into effect prior to 1 Aug. No -91 tail end ferrier/repositioning legs. No more 24/7 reserve, etc., etc. One good thing they already do, is your crew rest starts when you get to your hotel room. Your duty didn't start until you got to the airport, like other airlines, but now that will change to starting when you show in the lobby of the hotel.
These new rules will make a HUGE difference for Regional and Supplemental ops!

Well I heard back, they're going to review my resume for I think a DA-20 spot. 
Question, if called for an interview will I be able to schedule it 2-3 weeks from the time they call? I need to go get my recurrent done since I haven't flown in so long, plus my medical renewed. Just want to make sure I'm ready to roll for the interview and have plenty of time to prep. Sucks being out of the game for a couple years, haha.
As far as training goes for the DA-20, is it about the same pace as regional training? Trying to crank you out as fast as possible with no room for error type of thing or is it fairly laid-back?
