Can a new hire hold FLL?

 

[i fly boxes]

Question - are new hires currently going right to class or are they going into a pool for future classes? Does anyone know when the next 2 classes are?
thanks

How many days on/ off for reserve? Typical to break guarantee
What is likelyhood of acy remaining a domicile? Indefinitely?

minimum days off:
Line holder 13
Relief line 15
Reserve 12 or 13 during 31 day months

I never came in the ball park of guarantee, 65 was the closest I ever got...and that was the last month I bid reserve (I spent 2 years on reserve deliberately, because I live in base and only flew at the most 6 days in a busy month)

Thanks MO.

Anyone have an idea of growth at ACY? QOL in that domicile??

Hard to tell what will happen. My guess is that it will stay stagnant. ACY guys like it there. Up until recently it used to be two days and mostly country club flying. Last I saw they were doing 3 days also. Bottom third of the FO list is junior and mostly bids out with the first vacancy in FLL.

Btw whoever asked, reserve is 3h to push.

Well to the group? Or is it the usual mushroom analogy like elsewhere.

Of a feel for the company.

No EFBs or airside service. Lots of talk only. The airplane has laptops for most manuals, MELs, FOM, etc. But you carry your own Jepps.

Overnight hotels are between really good to good. At least that is my opinion. Hilton, Hyatt, Sheraton, Holiday Inn, etc. All with some crew discounts and free wifi, some with free breakfast and brown bags for morning crews.

Like hunchcowboy said hotels are nice to very nice, however in my opinion...I flipping hate the hotels, don't get me wrong it is nice to stay at a Hyatt Regency, what reall sucks about those is there is nothing around them (they seem to be more of a convention center or trade group meeting place) and while we do receive a discount, 10% or 25% off on a $40 hamburger, fries and a coke makes it a $30 hamburger, fries and a coke.

But like I said that is how I feel. My suggestion, is to stay at a nice hotel (not a super nice--something like a Hampton or Double Tree near something like a mall or a target or a restaurant)

For those that have applied fairly recently, how long before you received the call to interview?

 

[i fly boxes]

If you have a good lor shouldn't take that long. If you don't, like 4 years

Also Spirit guys, looking through your timetables, I noticed that you have a significant number of flights that leave outstations at like 2am. Are these highspeeds or day trips? It seems like they would be very fatiguing

 

[RideandDrive]

Red eye turns from FLL. Pretty senior actually.

I applied back in September and wanted to update my resume. I can't find a place to do that on the website. It seems like the only option is to apply for the job. When I do that, it comes back and says I already applied. Any ideas?
