Obviously the assignment of fleet is a mystery until you’ve officially started.
Has anyone who has started recently had there fleet preference awarded or is it just what you get ?
How many hours a month can I expect on each fleet type ? Realistically I want to know where am I going to make the most money with extra flying ?
What does an average roster look like ?
Do you have any ability to push back against a fleet type opting for your preferred choice ?
Ny guess would be a bus especially if you have that background.
747 is flying the same as ever, question is your salary based on 50-60 hrs enough for you ?
Family, kids, long term plans, options ?
Company will do whatever they want, there have been cases with people joining on a fleet, actually starting the induction classes to be moved to another.
At the moment numbers are still wrong post covid, some working too hard some not working much. That tells a lot about management.
