Normal Pilot gives a very rosy picture of FO conditions. Nothing new here, but remember that it is very different to be a contractor, commuting home somewhere else where your base is (7/2 roster), having months during winter when you earn less than 2k gross + month off with no pay etc.
So make sure you get the base you want and a direct contract with RYR and remember that most likely you have to change base when you do your command upgrade.
