Once Acc Offers You The Job, When Must You Sign The 1yr Contract? If Do You Dont Plan On Living At Any Of The Pilot Bases, Whats Is Cheaper 19/9, Hotel, Crash Pad?

You will sign the contract within the first week, but it will not be binding till you finish your checkride. As for not living at your base on scheduled it is not too easy, unless you already live within an hour or so. Charter is cheaper if you can dump your stuff at your parents or just rent some place for cheap, seeing as you will only be there 7-9 days a month.

Depends. The 9/19 was cheaper for me because I did not have to uproot and move the family. If I was single and without significant possesions, I would move to the base. Hotels and crash pads always seem to end up costing more than you plan for.

Is DTO still a base for both Demand and scheduled routes? If you fly on demand how close do you have to live to your base?

 

[Birddog]

DTO is on demand only. While it is the only base for this, you will spend considerable time in YIP as well. That might was well be a base for all intents and purposes. For on demand, you need to be close enough to be wheels up within 45 min of getting the call.
