RCA what do you mean? By the callout or what.

If you are on "reserve" at netjets meaning sitting at home then you get briefed for that.

Unless you mean "reserve" as meaning the schedule? If you mean that its just a really bad term used for the other type of schedule other than the 7n7. It's nothing like reserve at the regionals.

Let me know which way you mean. I'll do my best to answer.

Bogart you must not be suckin up to the schedulers like you did at TSA LOL

Must have me confused with someone else. I never worked there.

I have a couple questions.
How much does C/S get for working a holiday? Last week my friend at NJA made an extra $1,480.00 (740.00/ day) for working Good friday and Easter Sunday.

You have no seniority numbers so if a company man is a better brown noser, he may upgrade before you and you have no say or protection. Is that true?

How many weeks vacation do you earn at year 5 and how many sick days do you earn per year at C/S. ?

There is no holiday pay at CS. In the aviation business, I think the situation at NJ is a little out of the ordinairy. I worked in a 121 job for 28 years and never saw a dime of premium pay for holidays, unless I volunteered to work on an off day and it didn't matter if it was a holiday or not. Working holidays in the aviation business is just part of the job. You will find life at CS a good one if you don't mind hard work. OT is widely availible and it is 1.5 times your daily rate. For a 1st year FO an OT day is worth 330. Just keep in mind that every day of OT a Captain works is one less day the comapny needs for an additional Captain. If a guy worked 60 days as mentioned in a previous reply, that represents 1/3 of another Captain position. Pilots tend to be their own worst enemies. Upgrade is being quoted to new hires as approximately 24 months. I think that is a pretty good estimate and one might even see it happen a little sooner. Just like any job, everything is not perfect. The company has improved pay and benfits as they can afford it. I highl recomend the place.

On what day of the week do you start/finish a trip? Is it always the same day of the week?

M through F are start days. Your specific day depends on your fleet. Yes, you always start on the same day.

Address listed/120 minutes from Domicile

I have a question regarding your residence and its relation to your domicile. The company website clearly states that you must reside within 120 minutes from your domicile. The question that I have is is possible to list an address that is within the 2 hour rule (from a buddy of yours or possibly a relative) and have an actual home that is around 2.5 hours drive from your domicile?

Do some pilots do this? If so, do you ever have any scheduling conflicts where the company calls you out to start a tour and you must be there within 2 hours exactly? Does the company generally give you plenty of heads up the day before so that you can plan to leave a little earlier to start your trip?

 

[Chewbacca]

DL, no, YOU must live within 2 hours. No exceptions to the rule. 2 hours on mapquest, yahoo maps, google earth, or some other map search engine. Thats the way it goes.
