Expect to be on reserve out of training right now. We have a good amount of FOs and it seems that after this round of base switching there'll still be one or two guys on reserve. There are talks of new routes opening up for FDX in Puerto Rico out of BQN. So chances of going there are higher.
Pay is the same as it was.

Any chance to get MDT out of training PIC?
also ive always wondered does the 3 on 1 off schedule mean that you are away from home 3 weeks straight? or are you just reporting to work 3 weeks straight with some days at home?
Thanks

Well let's say you re based in BKW and you have 3/1. You're flying out of there the same run 3 weeks (your weekends are off on BKW) and then you're off for one whole week and you can go wherever you want.

MDT is ACC's upgrade base for FOs. People who are upgrading get sent there cause it gets a good amount of flight time. It's fairly senior for CAs as well as FOs. With an upgrade class happening soon, some of those guys will def want MDT and All of them will be senior to you. But hey anything can happen.

There's 3 bids for it right now and the guy that just got awarded it is really low time so he's going to be there for a while. In the US the shows are all late in the evening, fly to the hub (SDF or CVG) sit for 3-5 hours, then back to base in the AM, Monday night through Saturday morning. FO's don't get a week off. In SJU it's M-F daytime flying with varying show and duty times.

Right now the junior base is SJU, and no other bases have openings. Currently 2 FO's on reserve and I believe 6 or 7 FO's in class right now so you would be on reserve for a while.
