They are fairly fat on FO's right now and need captains.
Shouldn't they be upgrading FO's the way they're supposed to like every other airline does. Vegas, I could be reading this wrong, but are you saying they're hiring street Captains? I'd definitely be pi$$ed if I was an FO over there.
Just got the interview email also. I made it clear that I would only go as a Capt. She said they were not hiring any more fos for the year.
What is the first year capt pay? I mean what can you expect. I'm expecting it is pretty low since the girl would not give me spacifics through email.
Any info would be helpful.
Common, man...you've got an ATP and you can't figure out why a place that hires at 600/50 can't upgrade some of it's FOs?
The majority of the FO's are no where near having the time to upgrade...most are in the 500-700 range with many new ones around 300 hours total.
The new joint payscale is based on duty time and starts at $18/hour for CA and $12/hour for FO. There is a $10/hour overide for duty over 11 hours. 64.6 hour per two week guarentee. The pay jumps at 500 hours in type and then every 400-500 hours there after until year 3 when it becomes yearly. It's not bad and you do make more overall than the previous scale, but there are a lot of little nickel and dime issues in it that have pissed some of us off.
I believe they are still hiring captains to some extent, but I don't know the specifics. Lately I've just been trying to show up, fly and go home.
