Would love to be in your position. Two income sources. What you do whilst on leave is none of your employer's business.

That depends... check your EBA (if you have one). You might find a clause that effectively states you can't fly for an operator that's considered competition. Not just in Pilot EBAs. I know an individual that was called in for tea and biscuits once their employer found out they were working for a direct competitor while on leave. Earning more money too!

Lets add a twist, I signed the contract for the shiny turboprop, with a training bond to startin 6 weeks. Now I have a offer for a shiny jet. Question is if I haven't started yet with the shiny turboprop, can I start on the shiny jet without paying the bond, for the shiny turboprop?

Current Alliance F100/E190 figures are below. Seems negotiations are currently occurring to merge the two fleets into a single contract. F100 crews get RPT bonus on top E190 doesn’t at the moment.

FO Base: $128679
CA Base: $186491

FO Productivity: $210
CPT Productivity: $332

RPT BONUS ( paid each month if you do an RPT flight, always paid apparently)
FO: $578
CPT: $838

According to the crews I know there captains are getting flogged, expect to fly 80-90 hours a month (productivity starts at 55 hours). FOs either just fall short of 55 or just bust it but thee may be outliers. So realistically a Captain on either fleet will be grossing around the $250k mark as a line driver. No idea what pays are like for those in the training department

Seems like a lot of the E190 flights out of Brissy are Qlink RPT flights. Any idea how much FIFO stuff the E-jets do? What kinda hours/overtime/allowances are we looking at for brissy FOs on the Ejet?

Yes** Since the employer hasn’t incurred training costs, how could they hold you to a bond?

** Not a solicitor. They might try it on.
