Re: Typical New Hire RP Schedule.

If you hold a block on flat pay are you essentially just working for per diems and maybe the chance of some overtime? As losercruiser said in effect yes.

Re: Typical New Hire RP Schedule.

I did a full FO course for 787 RP and then proceeded to sign it off in my license as 787 - RP. Not sure if they were afraid WJ was going to start poaching guys, this was under MS.

Re: Any info on Transwest Air

Can't recommed Transwest anymore.
