Hey All,
I've been told by my sponsor at CAL to expect an interview at CAL within a couple weeks and am trying to learn all I can about what to expect the first year or so..
Before anyone starts firing at me for putting the cart before the horse, this will be a huge sacrifice (not whining, just a fact) for me and my family and I want to go in knowing all the potential up and downs. I do not by any means think that the interview is a slam dunk. Should I be given an opportunity at CAL, I just want to make my decisions based on as much info as possible.
I have read and heard that reserves on the EWR737 are "flying" between 50-75 hours a month and EWR756 reserves are "working" nearly 100 with most time as deadhead or IRO, which credits less. What are these guys 737/756 actually crediting for pay??
I haven't read anything about the 777 FOs. How long does it take to possibly hold 777 FO? Is it even worth thinking about since upgrade times should drop as retirements increase?
I have a copy of the CAL contract and LOAs, but not being a lawyer am having a hard time digging through it to find these answers.
Thanks in advance....
