I get a lot of EVA guys flying stand by on my airline. These guys all start and finish there trips in LAX. So far they all have been South American, and Mexican pilots. The pay doesn't sound very good, I think Captains are making around USD 80,000 a year.(not sure though) I ask how they like there jobs, and they all seem to say "ay it's OK, it's just no fun flying for 14 hours." It sounds like they will be getting a lot of new planes in the next couple of years. I can tell you for sure that they are a part of the ZED program, wich means you and your family can fly stand by on most airlines for a very cheap fair. Hope my very limited and possibly inacurate info helps.
May I ask what your experience is? I was thinking of sending my stuff in, but I'm fairly low time.
