I have an interview scheduled next week with RP, they called me and said that the Q has no contract, however the bonus locks you in for 24months. They also said there is no longer a seat lock on the Q. Of course they said they are interviewing me for the Q, I prefer the 170 and told them so. Is the Q that bad?

They all pay the same.
And the Q is cool cuz technically the engine are mounted under the wings.

Nothing wrong with that at all. Turboprops are pieces of poo that fly slow, are mx hogs and wreck your hearing. They usually pay less too. Sure it was fun flying one for about 3 months but then all you are left with is harder work, more legs and having to say WHHHAAAAAAAAAT??! like an old man. They do burn a lot less gas so I guess that have that going for them, that is about all.

Not to mention they break a lot...that leads to cancellations, that leads to you not getting paid! So in a bad month you could break enough to bring your pay down to guarantee (75) hours! Sound cool??? Come on down!
