as was said, depends on the base

here is a 4 day line in DFW for example that is pretty much just Clovis NM turns

DAY 1
From - To - Departure time
DFW - CVN 1310
CVN - DFW 1525
DFW - CVN 1750

Overnight CVN around 8pm

DAY 2
CVN - DFW 0605
Home Reserve 0750 - 1230

DAY 3
DFW - CVN 1310
CVN - DFW 1525
DFW - CVN 1750

DAY 4
CVN - DFW 0605
DFW - CVN 0830
CVN - DFW 1045

into days off at 1245 for 3 days

Another sequence out of DFW where you spend a lot of time around nashville

DAY 1
DFW - GLH 1325
GLH - BNA 1535
BNA - GLH 1815

Overnight GLH 2015

DAY 2
GLH - BNA 0600
BNA - GLH 0900
GLH - DFW 1055

Overnight in base at 1235

DAY 3
DFW - GLH 1325
GLH - BNA 1535
BNA - GLH 1815

Overnight GLH 2015

DAY 4
GLH - BNA 0600
BNA - GLH 0900
GLH - DFW 1055

Released to days off at 1235

as you can see, those seem to be pretty commuter friendly lines, because you can get into DFW from pretty much anywhere in the USA before noon on Day one, and your headed back home to days off more or less before 1pm on day 4. trouble with the first scheduled line is that you will have to find a place to rest your head to sit "home reserve" in the middle of your 4 day sequence.

There is a Red Roof Inn on Esters Blvd at the north DFW entrance... supposedly pilot rate is $20 a night so you're out 20 bucks, not too big a deal to have to do that 4 times a month (plus theres a Dennys next door) not sure what their pilot rate is for boutique or if they even have one, i think the pilot rate is a flat rate if you have company ID of some kind. I've spent a lot of time in that place, and in all honesty its a pretty decent hotel.

not that you'd probably end up in DFW, but im just throwing that gem out there for the guys that do.

Can you shed any light on Phx? Also how senior is it?

Azorian

I asked around

Word is Phoenix is pretty senior. Expect some other base for a couple of months before transferring.

PHX is probably the least desirable base in summer as the PC12 does not have very good air conditioning. There are still continuous duty overnights out of PHX as well.

Any base places new hires, especially PICs, into the system. There are few pilots that aren't working under a training contract (1 year).

Asking for friend. Can anyone shed some light regarding the mins that BTQ has been hiring as of late please? Thanks a bunch!

MaxMar

I got an offer at about 1100 hours with about 250 Turbine PIC. YMMV.

If you are willing to work as a CSA or Ramper seniority begins on your date of hire regardless of Pilot Qualifications.

Snowflyer

I believe that has changed now. It is a good way to get foot in door though

MaxMar

My girlfriend was a CSA for about 6 months, so I did hear about that. Not sure if it's still the case. Either way I turned down the offer, got a better one at another PC-12 operator.

Actually there are not. I think there used to be, but not anymore. Right now the only CDOs we have are out of DEN, ATL, and LAX.
