Schedule can vary depending on your base. You owe the company 17 days/month. With our new contract with duty rigs there have been lines with less than 17 days, but plan on working 17. Some trips are 17 in a row and others are split trips. They have to give you a minimum of five days off between trips.
Minimum guarantee is 50 Hours for the first year at $75/hr.. At guarantee that equates to $2600/mo. take-home depending on your deductions. Just finishing my first year and have had about half of my months at guarantee. But, that is mostly due to where I am based. If you are based in ANC, JFK or HSV you will probably break guarantee most months. No clue yet as to how the 767 schedules will work out as it is so new yet.
We are not home-based. Company buys you a ticket to your base, but you have to travel on your last day off to get to work and potentially on your first day off to get home if your pattern ends too late to catch a flight home on your last day of work.
Jr. bases right now are in the 767 in JFK and CVG. As far as the Jr. 744 bases are concerned it is kind of a crapshoot now. You could end up anywhere from JFK, HSV, ANC and MIA. LAX is still a bit senior, but dropping. CVG could be possible for a relative new-hire as well I think.
Lots of rumors about continuing growth, but hiring has slowed due to training capacity. Put your stuff in, if they are still accepting, and go read the thread on APC.
