And a pay scale, amongst other things.

Is this a commutable type operation? I.e. DAL based and live 200 miles east of DAL. I position myself to DAl for my 8 day tour?

Thanks
They do airline to and from your base. You keep the miles and hotel points. They typically require you to live within a 2 hour drive from your domicile. It's highly unlikely you'll stay close to where you live during your tour.

Out on the road your days will vary from relatively easy to long and tiring and everything in between.

We typically stay in hilton properties. $59 per day per diem. $69 international.

Full health insurance coverage for you and your family including dental and vision. Premiums 100% covered by the company.

The pay increase is significant and will take effect March 1st.

This company is growing very quickly. They seem to be making a genuine attempt to address previous concerns.

Correction, $65 international per diem.

Also $60 a month cellphone allowance and medical reimbursement.

I didn't read through the entire thread. Where are the domiciles? Are there any discussions about home based?

The pay scale will be merged for both fleets.
As a rule of thumb if you live close to a major airport with reliable airline service there's a good chance it will be your domicile.

Yes it is. We need pilots so if you have atp mins and value giving good customer service I encourage you to apply. Pros and cons can be found by reading previous posts on this thread and another one called “new gama/wheels up king air bases.”

So I've heard the rumors and have read them on these threads...

Is there any movement on adding the CE-750 to the Wheels Up program?
