Caribbean Airlines

Hi, the F/O's for CAL are making about $4g's USD per month with $50 perdiem per day. They start guys off on the Dash 8 pretty much right out of flight schools. The Dash does all the island hops but home every night. The company is in the middle of bringing AirJamaica into the mix so it is stretched big time right now. Not enough crews so they are looking for bodies. The flying is easy work and Trinidad is pretty civilized. CAL layovers in TOR, JFK, KIN, GEO. Nice weather for the most part with good equipment and mx. I'm on a contract for 6 more months but can see that they will need us a bit longer. It is a government run airline so there are lots of meaningless activities that just keep people employed which takes a bit of getting used to. But the people are nice. Overall, not a bad little company.
