Wheels up QOL and money
Hello everyone I’m new to this site so forgive me in advance for any repeat questions.
1. The upgrade time to captain I’m hearing two different stories. Is it automatically after one year or is it based on merit?
2. When your bases say west coast, willl your tour stArt at your base or fly to meet the plane?
3. The per diem card , is it loaded and yours to keep? What happens if you barely use it?
4. How much PIC does a Sic actually log?
5. Overall what are your thoughts on the company? Is it a good place to work at? I know that all companies will have their ups and downs.
Thanks

2. Both.
3. My per diem card is loaded multiple times a day....
You get per diem for a day on duty. 4. No way I’m getting into a logging time discussion. There are pages on that.
5. It’s got it’s issues, but it’s better than your average 135. But it’s still a 135....

You will start on an airplane in the US (99% of the time). That's about as much as anyone knows until we get our orders.
There is no card for perdiem. We get a company card to use for hotels, travel, and whatever other business expenses we run into. You turn in per diem numbers with your expense reports and get paid what you are owed.
Logging of time by SICs is changing. For me if I'm not listed as PIC on the daily paperwork, I'm logging SIC.
Top of the line as far as 135s go.

Lots of things to factor but for me I wish I made the jump earlier.

But that really doesn't happen all that much. No receipts required, because it's not based on what you use, it's a flat rate.
That would be amazing instead of submitting every receipt.

It is not put on your PAY check. The per diem is with your expense report on a separate check... You must submit your shift expenses (receipts), mainly Hotels, Uber, Airline and any other authorized expense in order to receive your per diem. This check takes somewhere between 1-3 weeks to appear in your bank account.
