Thanks for the info...

Cheers

You'll be typed on the sewer pipe in SAT at FS, can't speak of rotor training because I do not know, and the airplanes are N reg.

The worst that can happen is that they never call you. Apply, if they don't call, keep applying until you get the job that you want, at the company you want.

Berry has announced, starting first of the year, they will be rolling out a 401k match. Sounds like 4% with graduated vesting over a 4 year period (very disappointing), but it’s a step in the right direction.

Up to 4% match of your contribution.

2022 Pay Increase

New Pay Raise for 2022 (not up on the profile here yet, if any admin seeing this can reach out) Using the 170,000sm average it works out to about a $12,000/year bump for FO's and $15,000/year for 2nd year Capts.

As already mentioned, 4% match on 401k contributions (tiered 4 year vesting). It used to be zero contribution.

No clue who you work for, if anyone, or what you do for a job but nice tone there. But I’ll answer your question anyway; the crew is responsible for pushing palletized loads inside the airplane to/from the cargo door. Occasionally you may have to break down a pallet or two and loose load around. Also expected to strap down the pallets. Any movement of cargo outside the airplane is not your responsibility. No, there is no extra pay. You can include that as part of your base salary. Being paid by the mile is an incentive to work a bit faster. If you want to be paid a salary and no mileage pay, check out Ameriflight - No touching boxes there. (However their charter side of things may have a different policy). But that’s also why FO’s at Berry make more than double than Ameriflight.
