Are you seeing lots of 121 career progression - pilots moving onto NK, JB, and the like? Legacies as well?
Thanks!
-I think, QOL at Silver for most crew members is due to being able to drive to base and trips that have you home most nights. Other QOL factors for some are; flying around FL, Bahamas and Caribbean, transitioning to new ATR 42/72's and regularly flying with crews you know.
-Average schedule is 3-5 legs per day and per the CBA the minimum days off per month is 11. Although, most lines usually have 12-15 days off a month unless you are on reserve then it is usually 11.
-FLL and TPA lines are mostly day trips with a few overnights. MCO has about an even mix of lines that have overnights and lines that are just day trips. It varies month to month as to which lines go more senior.
-Most FO's have the hours to upgrade to CA after about 12-18 months flying here. Silver has a pathway program with Frontier and recently CA's have moved on to Frontier, CA's have also moved on to Spirit.
