Folks, could someone give me insight/lowdown as to how the new hire/floater schedule works?
How long before you get a permenant schedule?
While you are floating around how often are you able to get home?
QOL? Hard days off & etc. etc.
Training conducted at? (Location)
Training contract, $ Amt.? (Think they got one)
Upgrades?

Any detailed info would be appreciated!

Everytime you change seats or planes there is a training contract. AS a floater you come home sat. and leave monday.

I spoke with them a while back, training contract, unable to really give you an idea on where you will end up and 30k to start(Caravan).

They train in Denver NC I think for the ground school, no idea on the flight training.

This was about 2 months ago right after my last furlough. I passed on it due to the lack of money and a required move to Ohio......not that I have anything against Ohio except that it pretty much bites At any rate the money was not worth it for my case (Wife and Kids)

Seemed like nice people.

Hope this helps a little.

floaters leave on monday and get done saturday morning and then you do it again the next week and then if you do maybe 8 weeks in a row you might get a standby week. Permanent schedule time depends on who is leaving and how good the run is but could be 6 months or several years. You will will pretty much only be home from sat midday to monday morning. indoc is in denver nc and the sim training is in memphis tn at panam where FEDEX has a level d caravan sim that flys absolutely nothing like the airplane or houston for the atr. I think the training contract is around 10k. Upgrades assuming you meet the mins are a few years at least unless you have the mins and want to move to south america then you could probably be a street capt.

If you hire on as a van Capt (which I suggest), you'll end up
either as a floater or you can bid whatever route is open.

Some new guy just got a cake job in NC, others prefer to be
floaters.

QOL:
Floaters have to deal with a bit more BS.
Once you have a route, it's your's until you die, quit or the run
ends. Life really can't get any easier. Just beware, stay here for
more than 2-3 years and you'll be a lifer. It's a bit of a trap.
Not necessarily a bad one.

Thanks for the replies guys.

First of all I am not interested in the "Van" position so my questions are strictly referring to the ATR job.

1) So suppose my run/rotation ends in MEM but I live in NYC; will the company buy me a round trip airline ticket on saturday morning from MEM to NYC (JFK, LGA) or I gotta find my own way home & back?

2) I guess I don't understand the fact since I am a floater how & when do I see my family?

Maybe somebody can explain me that.

Thanks

Floater is for the van, don't know anything about the ATR positions.

ok, drop the van comment.
Floaters still have bases. It is not uncommon to be floated out of your
present home, but the trend is to relocate to the floater base.

The company pays for the flight to and from the departure airport.

You'll see your family one day on the weekends.
