I flew 135/91k for 11 years. We didn’t purchase a phone and let the company foot the bill. The company provided a phone that they paid for, and some people were dumb enough to make it their personal phone.
if you find some corporate outfit will pay your personal phone bill and think that’s some grand perk then have at it. It’s a rounding error at any respectable pilot pay scale.

Thanks for the responses. Yes it’s a good 91 gig. Local Fortune 500 company that just got into aviation three years ago and has two planes now. I’ve been 91 my whole career, some with a smattering of 135 sprinkled in. I haven’t paid a phone bill ever, since I got my first company phone in 2000, it’s standard in 91/135 as is paying for your medical.
I’m an empty nester and if I can leverage my career into a higher pay bracket for my last decade and/or enhance my QOL, I’m definitely interested. One of my alternative reality plans is to get on with Spirit/Southwest/Jet Blue and be based in MCO. I would commute for five years and then buy a condo overlooking the Atlantic and be home based for my last five years. We’ll see what happens as the market continues to tighten up. Great time to be a pilot and dream big!

Have some friends down there that are almost to a year on property and still can't hold LCR. Its getting close mind you, but not yet. You can get based there pretty much right out of training however it will take you a little bit of time to hold a line. FLL much quicker as it is our most junior base on the FO side of things.

"holding LCR" really isn't a thing here at Spirit. There are very few LCR slots per base that by the time you can hold LCR you can basically hold a line at that point unless you are a complete bidtard.
