It all seemed really organized and well planned.
The salary is not great and making 50.000 gross a year, plus per diem and other bonuses as an FO may be short for some who can get a DEC or fast track somewhere else.
I have no idea how much is the PIC salary, but it will be better for sure, and given the other conditions, it seems a good place to work, with good perspectives of new jets, longer routes, and a decent life for those who are tired of flying a big bus in repeated routes eeeevery single day.
I have no idea if I was accepted for the next step though.
Good luck to all !
Thanks for sharing your experience - good on you for doing so.
It sounds interesting, as you said, IF you're recently new to flying and don't feel like doing the hamster wheel. However, if this is the deal for F/Os I doubt the deal for experienced PIC are of interest to those of us who would consider jumping ship. The industry if plagued with low balling and hopefully the companies and clients will be paying the price for this approach in the time to come.
