All new Contractor pilots start on a " Worldwide" contract.
That means that the contractor tells AAI when he/she is available for duty. The company then will see if they need you or not.
You are paid per day on duty. When not needed, you are not paid.
Before even applying, one has to be very aware of this and accept a certain uncertainty regarding salary and unpaid leave periods.

The quoted daily fees are also a bit on the high side by the way. Expect to start on the low end of the quoted values, even for experienced pilots.

But the initial and recurrent training is very good, probably the best on B747-400 as operating environment can be very challenging.

Oh, and 15/15...never gonna happen pal!
