With the 14/14 schedule, is it possible to group those into 14 days in a row, then 14 off in a row? And do you get vacation on top of this? Also, that requirements do you have for an off the street Captain?
Now that would make the job interesting to me. Air Sprint might just find that they could find themselves some longer term employees if this was an option. A certai mpercentage of pilots don't always look at the almighty dollar as 100% of what they are interested in. And while it is completely understandable that the company drafts you to fill in, an option for getting a two days back instead of double pay would be a nice option. It keeps both types of employees happy, which equates to a higher likelyhood of less turnover.
Hello Folks,
Sorry for the delayed reply, it’s been a busy week and I am currently trying to make my way to Wichita.
As James said, there are rules in the PBS limiting the maximum number of days on reserve to 8. However, you can sign a waiver (push a button in the bidding system), that allows you to work up to 13 days. The maximum number of consecutive days off is simply as many as you can string together within the rules of the PBS.
For direct entry Captains we are looking for 4500 hours, ATPL, jet and corporate time an asset but not required. Internally we will upgrade our pilots to a Captain seat with 3500 hours when the seniority, ability, and job performance is there.
For the time being I would expect directly entry Captain positions will most likely fall into the CJ Series fleet. The Legacy Captain positions are preferably filled internally. Once in a Captain seat we generally require 2 years in that position before requesting transfer to another aircraft type, unless circumstances require an early move.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Adam
