In reality it quickly became go to work, fly back and forth, spend the night at an outstation. Then wake up, fly all day, and spend another night in the outstation. Then wake up and if you're lucky fly a half day and go home- or fly all damn day and spend another night in the outstation. Then maybe fly half a day and go home. Drop off dry cleaning, pick up dry cleaning, sleep, repeat.



As a low seniority guy at ATL, you might expect to get sent to PIT and BOS when the need arises. (And MSS is no fun this time of year....)

But you're flying a great plane and building hours. Pt 91 was worse...

I know of a 600TT CFI/CFII/MEI that just got hired. So your 650 with CFII should be pretty close.

Do they still have crew crash houses and crew cars or are they using hotels now?

If you were deadheaded out to cover another base, its only because they ran out of reserves there and had a sufficient number in your home base and could afford to lose you.

with boutique, and i am not complaining here so dont get me wrong, just pointing out the differences... you can just about count on flying out of every base but your own. not so much for FOs, but definitely for PICs

When they ship you out to fly another base, you're paid regular rates for flying out then flying the trips, right?

Does your shop need 1500 hour pilots with 200+ jet/turbine and 700+ multi?

Just to compare, PIC at my PC12 shop is $600 or $800, depending if it's high or low season.

Crew houses and cars. No hotels unless you get stuck out of base due to maintenance issues.

Correct. The only real difference is that they would have to put you up in a hotel when your not at the outstation. You also receive $30 per diem per day not counting the day you leave.
