Don't think this is the case. Not defending SJS but you do get BHO in your first year. It also goes toward breaking guarantee from day one.

I just got off first year pay. You do not get paid any overrides during your first year. It's $22/hour and no more.

I stand corrected. When did this get changed? I just looked up some old (first year) paychecks and the BHO is on there.

Wish I knew. It would've helped out quite a bit.

Pilot Policy Manual. SP 3027.2 Last revision dated May 2011, so probably when we passed the last pay agreement.

No offense, but when I share information, I do generally attempt to make sure it is current and legit.

This might be a stupid question but do you need to bring your logbook book to training I didn"t see it on any of the what to bring docs.

Thanks

If you're getting an ATP you need your logbook. If you're just getting a type rating you don't need your logbook but you will still need to know your times to fill out IACRA/8710. Even if you're getting the ATP you won't need the logbook until you get to sim. Don't bring it to ground unless you don't plan on going home.

You also need a headset for sim and it's useful for your observation flights which you do in ground training. That's something they don't tell you in advance for some reason.

Good to know. It will be new hire initial. Is there usally a break between ground and sim

futurav8r

As usual, it depends. Most classes are split into two groups for sim, and one group will start right after ground, while the other may have 3-5-? days off. No way to tell which group you will be in until shortly before sim.

IAH is possible out of training. It's middle of the road. Right now the junior lineholders were hired around May 2012. If more movement comes, that time could come down. There are about 120 crews. IAH is about 80% -700 flying and 20% -200. There's even a few Delta 900 pairings in the mix as well. Even with the 200, the legs seem to be fairly long so you'll average about 2 to 3 legs per day. It seems that most 3 and 4 day trip leave IAH on day one and you don't see IAH again until day 4. So lots of hub flying into other places like SFO, DEN, LAX, and even IAD some. Mexico seems to go junior too. Overnights are all over the place too so its hard to tell you that, but you'll see mostly west coast, but a few east coast stuff too like BOS, and I even saw Halifax as an overnight as well. So come to IAH if you're a new hire!
