what are min and typical days off in a month? How do schedules differ (if at all) between crj and emb?

 

[ilkwamh2]

On reserve, it's 10 days off a month, and line holders min is 11 days off. Typical days off is average of 14. The CRJ have longer legs so you fly around 3 legs a day. The EMB fly the shorter legs and you fly 7-8 legs a day. I think it's definitely a lot easier on the CRJ since you're not always doing the quick turns like on the EMB. Hats off to the EMB guys.

The medical kicks in 90 days after your hire date at the beginning of the next month. So if you were hired today on 9/17/05, your medical begins on 1/1/06.

thanks for responding. Is hire date considered the day you start class or pass checkride?

Thanks dude. Is reserve 3.75 hrs/day towards guarantee? Does "hot" reserve exist?

We do have "hot" reserve. I've never had to do it though.

What's hot reserve? Is that like airport reserve? Reserve is not 3.75 hrs. towards your monthly guarantee.

Then how do you get paid for reserve?

You get 37.5 hrs for the first 15 days of the month. If you exceed 75 for the month it will be made up on the paycheck covering the second half of the month. Example: You fly 100 hrs in a month, Paycheck on the 22nd covers the 1st to the 15th. Your paycheck will be based on 37.5 hrs. The paycheck on the 7th of the next month covers the last half of the month and would be for 62.5 hours. If you don't fly more than 75 hours, both paychecks will be 37.5 hours.

Thanks for the response. Are days off grouped together (i.e. Air Wisconsin) or do your schedules sometimes have 5 on, 1 off...?

How is sick/vacation time accrued?

What are your benefits with United/Delta? Are you allowed to cockpit j/s? Is there any talk of getting CASS? Do benefits change depending on whether you are based at a United or Delta domicile?
