NJA info needed

Just curious as to what a new hire at NJA makes and what aircraft are usually assigned to new hires... I love my job now, but would like to get back to Texas.

A newhire starts on the reserve schedule (18 days a month, 4 hard days off), which pays $46,286. You can bid to stay on the reserve once you're off IOE (which may or may not be possible; it goes senior because it pays more [!]), or move to a 7-days-on, 7-off schedule, which pays $39000. Extra days, holidays, and such will pay more money.

Newhires are hired into pretty much all the airplanes except the BBJ (737) and the Falcon 2000EX, which pay more for FOs. (They're "Class 5" and "Class 4" airplanes in the contract, respectively.) FO pay for all the other planes is the same. Lots of newhires going into the Excel, which is a rapidly growing fleet. My newhire class a few months ago was about two-thirds Excel, and the rest scattered among the BeechJet (Hawker 400XP), Citation Encore, Hawker 800XP, and Citation X.

1st year base pay runs from $39,000 for 7 on 7 off schedule to $46,286 for reserve. Holiday pay, overtime, and working days off will add 10-15% to that amount. Per Diem runs over $500/month and you don't spend much of it due to the crew meal program. Medical Insurance and all other benefits are free. You'll be on reserve pay by default until you finish training.

New hires are placed all over the fleet, everything from Hawker 400XP (aka BeechJet 400) up to the Falcon 2000. Just luck of the draw. Many new hires are given a choice, most take the first available.

DAL is a popular domicile, expect a long wait for an interview.
