All the bases are pretty junior with cho and ewn closing by year end and phl opening. Company provide 4 nights a month in base as a commuter.

Does anyone have a link to the contract? I was looking online but all i could find was the LOA for the flow/new pay rates.

I felt the same way and I have been having a blast in class at PDT so far. I left Republic as well and for the same reasons. Your interview is really similar to the republic one. Know jepps, runway light stuff, and do the Sheppard air (if you want). I started 7-20 over here, maybe we will run into each other at the training center. When's your interview?

You know I probably wasn't paying attention that day in GS! Could care less now! 8 months of my life I would love to have back from TSA! Back to the CRJ these days! Old faithful!

CRJ/ERJ are we really talking about which is better? LOL! Maybe the one that gives you more days off and more money in your pocket.

Oh well I'll never fly either one.

New question:
What are some of the common towns that one does layovers? Are any layovers longer than minimum e.g, 16-18 hrs? In particular, any layovers in DC?

I'm hoping for ROA. Closest to home. (Still 3:45 hrs away). But I may try to pick up time elsewhere as available.

When do the contractual pay raises occur as noted in the PDT profile on APC.

Every April and then at your yearly longevity date. Also those rates aren't that accurate. Little low
