Uhhhhh...if you're like way down the call list and it's your last day, and it's T-Day, I would just get my free Moe's and get the heck out of there.
All the flights are gone from IAD by 5PM on T-Day, and there are probably only like 5 flights total. If there's a day to sneak out early, that's it.
If you're AM, they should release you very early on T-Day with that many people on duty. If you're PM, they should release you by 5PM.
It would be very easy for them to algorithmically determine reserve numbers based on historical absences, holidays/weekends, and forecast block time, but you know--just cuz it's easy/cheap/simple to do something doesn't mean Mesa's gonna do it.

A lot of guys use Austin to connect between PHX and IAD/CLT because flights often have some open seats. San Antonio's good for that too. But I'd imagine that would be commutable for pretty much any base.

What can first year fo at mesa expect to take home pay wise for a check? Also are they hiring for both Erj and crj. As a young new hire do you have much say on aircraft?
Thanks!
Thanks!

That info is only on FTweb, I think. Yeah, I'd drop the DH and go straight home.

Crumbs bro, crumbs.
$700 check on the 15th.
$700-$1100 check on the 30th. Lower end as a RSV with little flying. Higher end as a line holder avg. 80hrs of credit.
That's with being single on the basic insurance plan. About $110 a month.

Always appreciate the information flaps. Is there a place on Pilot Lounge or FLICA to see when the last flight of the day is? If it is 5pm, that may be just the info I needed. My deadhead gets me in after that, so the goal would be to skip it altogether and commute home from the city I start in.

I love how you give advice to prospective new hires but you don't know how to do something as simple as check FTWeb for departing/arriving/delayed flights in your own domicile. (add laughing emojis)

Commute from AUS to DFW can be tricky. DFW being a major hub for AA a lot of AA commuting out of DFW. Look and see what it looks like for AUS to IAH
