Oh sure, being able to use the ipads will be great. I just can't wait to shed the 30lbs of cargo.

iPads are in final trials before pilot distribution. Then we use them in tandem with paper Jepps for six months before all paper is gone. Hopefully we will get them before the end of the first quarter of the year.

No reserve right now on the 145. But at some point, that will change. Even when it does, it'll be very short.

12 hours on top of what you fly or min day (4 hours)

Min of 16 hours a day.

Sorry nooB here, are you meaning triple premium as in the offer of 300% pay on off day flying or something else?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Is upgrade time still 2500TT and 1000 121? I'm coming from corporate and have just short of 700 121 time in the E145. I know it's being advertised as such so just want to know if a new hire can still expect to upgrade that quick?

Also, what are insurance costs at PDt, I have a family so this is a big one when I'm looking at all the opportunities out here.

Thank you all!

Yessir. If there's open flying and you pick it up on a day off, you get paid 12 hours, plus what the extra flying is worth (4 hours minimum). So if you pick up a PHL-MDT-PHL turn on an off day, boom 16 hours pay
