Lears and Falcon 20's. I made 28,000 my first year, 48,000 the second year. I think the scedule is 5 on 2 off, 12 on 3 off or something like that. Upgrade varies, due to Sept 11. It used to average about a year or less. It is your typical cargo company. Perdiem is 24 dollars a day. You will spend a lot of time sitting on the road.

Is the mileage an either/or thing? My current company you get mileage or gaurantee, which ever is higher.

Also, do you share hotel rooms?

 

[falcondriver]

You don't share rooms. You get the salary regardless if you fly or not. You only get mileage if you fly the miles.
