NJ Oct 8th class

[CRJFlyer]

If it is 90 days what pay rate will we be getting? The reserve or 7/7 pay rate...The 7/7 without perdiem would make things a bit tight around the house.

 

[Outta Here]

You will get reserve pay until you can bid 7n7 or reserve

 

[CRJFlyer]

[turboshark]

that may be correct, mine was 6 weeks for the xl. in the mean time, stay in the books and your memory items proceedures. not to spook ya, but dont get lazy about what youve been tought.

have fun and enjoy the ride.!!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Does anyone know how long the wait is for OE? My buddy is tellin me to expect about 90 days for the X. Any thoughts?

Not true. There were 2 weeks between sims and aircraft training (2 landings) and then 1 week before I started IOE. I am in IOE now.

dr pepper,

my trainiing was over year ago, they may have gotten better in their training schedules. min was what it was. then again, other fleets may be on different schedules. who knows...just go for the ride.

Received the call yesterday from Michelle about setting up travel arrangements, hotel, etc. for training.

It is my understanding that the long waits for training are part of the reason for the smaller hiring this year. I do know that the training in the X will not have a 90 day wait to begin IOE.

Thats kinda of a bummer.. I was lookin forward to that! jk... Its better to get started while its fresh anyway.

 

[Guitar Guy]

The wait for IOE varies and is dependent on a lot of factors. However, the training dept has worked to reduce the down time between training and the start of IOE.

As for pay, you are on the Reserve payscale until you either bid to 7/7 or are forced there involuntarily. In some fleets, especially for SIC's, Reserve has gone relatively senior and forced some SIC's to the 7/7.

 

[kevin_p]

I think most of the fleets are caught up with training. I started in June in the Sovereign and had 5 days between sim and aircraft training and 9 days between aircraft training and IOE.

Does anybody plan to commute for work at NetJets?

Buy cheap tickets, drive, etc;

I've heard that a number of LAX-based pilots live in PHX and LAS and commute twice a month on Southwest. With the 7-7 schedule you know when you will be commuting.

Wait until the October vote - perhaps you won't ultimately have to commute.

 

[Dr Pepper]

There are lots of guys that commute. My indoc class had guys coming in from Tucson, Phoenix, Denver, San Fran, Seattle, Fresno, San Diego. Some drive, some fly. The same is going on in the other domiciles as well. Ex: Amarillo to Dallas.

 

[RP170]

I'm planning to do the drive from MCO to PBI (2.5 hours). Shouldn't be too bad with the 7/7 schedule. Of course, that's subject to change. It will be interesting to see what Oct. 1 brings.

 

[Diesel]

2.5 hrs from mco to pbi?

I don't think so. Plan on 3.5 to be safe.

 

[bosdrx]

I'm lookin at 4 to 4.5 from BOS to TEB. I dont think there are any cheap fares I could buy to get me to Jersey, so I'm driving. Buuut, on the 7/7 I should be able to live with it. Can anyone tell me how secure the parking is at TEB? Has anyone had any problems leaving a car there?

 

[marqmarq]

Consider a rental car

"I'm lookin at 4 to 4.5 from BOS to TEB....."
Consider a rental car one way. Have the company fly you home to BOS at the end of the tour.... we have a 'dummy tix' program. They'll credit you the amount of $ it would cost to get you back to TEB and then you buy a tix to BOS.

I don't think so. Plan on 3.5 to be safe.

I'll be living south of MCO right off of the FL turnpike.
