And if it is that low, what should you be thinking about?

TAKEOFF ALTERNATE!

Know the requirements for a T/O alternate.

Yes indeed, within 1 hour cruise speed in still air with 1 engine inoperative. Dont quote me because it varies with airplane, but does 270nm also sound correct for mileage that TO alternate should be within?
And for ALL alternate weather minimums, Part 121 carriers often use derived minimums using an opspec C055. Basically if your alternate airport has only one appropriate navaid and approach, you have to add 400ft and 1sm to the highest ceiling and vis but if there are two separate navaids and approaches that could be used, you only have to add 200ft and 1/2sm to highest ceiling and visibility.
Using this method makes the possiblilty of using an airport as an alternate feasible with crappier weather than the standard 800/2 600/2 mins. Remember this method is used to calculate minimum legal weather to file as alternate, destination or takeoff. Hope this helps for any CFIs out there!

Interview prep question.
I read on airline prep for PSA about knowing a 10-9. What exactly is a 10-9? I've done some research and can't seem to find much. Forgive me if this is something I should know, but I this is the first time I've heard the term.

Thanks in advance.
Family insurance is about 360/month for plan B.

We get paid on the 5th and 20th of every month.

You will only get reimbursed for the amount you actually spend on hotels up to $250.

You can park at the training center, you'll just need to check in at the guard shack to get a temp parking pass.

You cannot use the score from an expired written.

If you meet all the requirements listed in FSIMS 8900.1, Volume 5, Chapter 3, Section 1, and pass the interview process, you will be slotted into a CTP Class. Currently the first 4 days of CTP are held in DAY. Sometime in December those first 4 days are being moved to CVG. The second week is a combination of CRJ 200 Sim Time and taking the ATP Written. Pass the Written and you roll right into the Indoc New Hire Class the following Monday.

Keep in mind that there are several different avenues to obtain either the Full ATP, Bachelor 60 Restricted, Associates 30 Restricted, Cross Country Less than 500 Restricted, Less than 23 Years Old Restricted and the Military Exemption Restricted ATPs. Such as only having 25 hours of MEL. The 25 hours received during Sim Training can be used toward the 50 hours MEL minimum that is required.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Does anyone know if PSA pays for employee parking at your home airport if you commute or in your base If you live there... Lets say Dayton for example, how much is that per month? Thanks

You get paid parking in your domicile. You are on your own for paying for parking where you live if you commute.

Most airports I know of will give you a discount on their employee parking lot if you submit proof you work for an airline. Where I live its $250 a year.

It would be useless to get paid at your base as far as I can see, unless you live there. Why not pay for the airport you commute from?
