TurbineMan said:Any CHQ guys out there that can help. What is the first year pay? What can you expect after 2 or 3 years? Are benefits good? Are you treated well? Any info would be appreciated.
First year pay is 21.52/Hr (Goes up @ $0.45 in OCT.) plus 1.45/hr PerDiem. You are guaranteed 75hrs/mo. Initailly paid a perdiem in training, then guarantee after 30 days. Hotel is paid double occupancy in training. Reserve time depends on the base, and how many are hired into it (runs between 1 to 6 months) Bases are everyfrigginwhere east of the Mississippi. Look at their website. Guaranteed 11 days off reserve, 12 as a lineholder. Most average about 15.
Presently,they say you can expect to upgrade in about 2 years. Benefits are good, non-rev benes depend on where based and in what equipment (IOW, whichever code share(s) you fly for, you have NR with them) Health, dental reasonable; vision free.
We're treated fairly well. (except for the beatings) I've been here a touch over a year, and I like it.
