Best of luck.

Does anyone know if the min 500 jet time can be supplemented with turboprop for applying? Also how much time off are you guys averaging?

Our new CBA calls for 16 days of work. So, 14 days in a 30 day month and 15 days in a 31 day month. Fwiw,,, more often than not you will travel late in day 0.

packing

How do you guys pack for a trip?
I'm used to my roller board, for 4 day trips. But not only do you guys fly for longer trips, you might be in the Arctic one day and in Hawaii or Fiji or wherever a few days later……..

Also.. does Kalitta ever get to Australia? Flightaware never shows all the flights, I don't think.

In warmer months or going to warmer locations I take a pair of shorts. In winter I trade the shorts out for a long sleeve T-shirt. There a probably a few other items I carry, but I pack the same year round so if its missing from my bag I notice. YMMV. Food luck.

I have a couple questions. Sorry if they have been covered before but I didn't see them. What is Check airman over ride pay? And is there extra pay for secret squirrel type flying. PM me if you want. Thanks.

No on secret squirrel stuff. However there is additional pay in hostile areas. 4 hours at 150% above guarantee.
