Hey guys....great entertainment!
I've done a lot of seaching and have sifted through most of the CX posts, but I still have a few unanswered questions concerning CX lifestyle in the States.
My total time is 3200; 2000 turbo prop w/ 500 PIC in turbo prop type.
1. Does my time seem likely to earn an FO slot? Or, do I need turbine time and does it need to be PIC? (I would have to sacrifice QOL to get Jet PIC at my airline.)
2. How long will it take to get LAX? Is there a housing allowance?
3. What's the typical lifestyle for a LAX based pilot, ie trips, days off in a row, vacation...I gotta surf? According to the latest Surfing Mag, I hear they found some waves in China recently!
4. How are the trips? 12-15 hrs long?...how much do you bunk up and sleep through the flight? What do you do when you get to your destination...36 hr layover and then back over the pond, or do you fly all over the pacific in Hong Kong time zone?
Thanx in advance to all the CX drivers!
