everybody hired prior to today would be upgrading on top of the forced upgrade "HVAs", would take probably 3+ years to get them all upgraded, ergo, it would theoretically be 3+ years before someone in my shoes had any QOL (weekly commuting to and from ORD, LGA, reserve shift etc)
I make mid-senior fedex captain money doing what i do now in my non flying job, QOL is total garbage, im talking 100+ days in a row on a contract with no time built in for visiting home. Personally, I'd rather be flying again.
If i go sit reserve as a CA and can get 1,000 hours turbine PIC in 12-18 months and move on to something else, I'll do it... but im not going to bunk in a crash pad in LGA for the next 2 years while 2 or 3 hours a week get tossed at me. not even for a $40K +/- sign on bonus.
You’re unlikely to hit that 1,000 PIC in the next 12-18 months. Average hours for a reserve captain up there is maybe 50 a month tops. That will fluctuate, but I’d say 18 months at the absolute bare minimum.Originally Posted by Azorian
