How long for den or iah for a line? And do any of you know the main reasons for "washing out"?

 

Years ago it was uncommon to lose people in new hire training either. My class of 30 lost 2 in sim and one on IOE. Up until recently if you couldn't finish IOE by 50 hours they got rid of you. Typically you were only scheduled for 30 hours or so. 6 days of flying.

From 2002-2007 the experience level of the new hire classes were much hirer. A large percentage were coming from other airlines. (we probably have more Mesa pilots than Mesa.)

With the minimums at 25 hours of multi time now, things have changed.

Ironically, I heard it was the systems test getting people and not the sim/ioe.

 

The things that have changed from that post 8 years ago, other than pay which you can look up on this page, are:

Reserve guarantee 76 hours
No EMB 120s
Per Diem - $1.85; Jan 2017 $1.90
Trip rig 1:4
Min Day Pay 4:12
Maximum Duty Days per Month - Line holder 19 & Reserve 18
BHO - 6% CRJ 700; 8% CRJ 900
EMB175 has its on pay scale
Pilot Profit Sharing
401K matching
0-4 years of service 3%
5-9 years of service 5%
10+ years of service 7%
ESPP 5% discount

As for benefits, I don't know all specifics of their plans except that the pilots pay 38% of the premiums for health care plans, and that their LTD is a 3 year own occupation, age 65 any occupation plan.

Anyone correct and or add if I'm wrong or omitting anything.

 

Second on this question, it would be really helpful information. I've spent a couple hours on the phone with a recruiter and a couple FO's and none can tell me any thing more than "first year FO is $30/hr". What about the ancillary stuff like insurance, retire, etc and credits?

 

Apologies on my ill timed post; looks like if I had just waited for it...

Thx Nevets.

Can someone explain the vacation
.0385 per hour thing to a newbie?

Thanks!

 

For every hour you work, you accrue that much vacation time. So, 80 hours at 0.0385 equals 3.08 hours of vacation time accrued.

 

What's the going time on reserve time for the less senior bases? Especially den, iah, or cos...

And anyone know what the different $$$for single room??? I've got some serious snoring issues... Lol

 

The answer is seasonal. If you were hired in the early spring and came online for summer... no reserve. At least for many mid-seniority bases there were no reserves, just those finishing training who were built reserve lines. With fall upon us, the schedules get reduced and now most bases have a fair number of reserve lines. It just depends.
