EJA A/C Assignment

[EMB145]

Does EJA pay for uniforms? If the pilots pay, is there a periodic payroll deduction?
What about Options?

EJA Pays for your uniforms and additions to the uniform-such as sweaters, london fog overcoat, ties, eppelets, wings etc.
Then each year you get an annual amount to order stuff online.
During Indoc you go to a private vendor-you are measured/sized-then you get the stuff in the mail a few weeks later.

How does the bidding for the BBJ work at EJA? Do senior FO's get to bid for the BBJ? What is the timeframe for Captains to make it to the BBJ? Just wondering how that part of EJA worked. Thanks!

the bbj program is pretty stagnant right now. we have 5 planes, 4 more this year (2 delayed from last fall plus 2 more scheduled).
sales are very slow (9/11, high price tag/small market, etc). the planes aren't flying much - i've been in it 6 months and just broke 30 hours/7 landings, many others have even less.

right now, only pic bids are coming out - actually the last bid that came out was early fall - the next one isn't expected for several months.

the bids are going very senior - a new hire today wouldn't expect to see the bbj as capt for at least 10 years, probably longer. at some point in the future - probably 2-3 years, fo bids will be posted and junior pilots may want to bid for those slots.
