Hey Jon,
You get your own reply post...do you feel special? Well, don't. J/k. Here's what I know about the schedule...right now it is 3 months on, 1 month off (they fly you home on your off months) and they are trying to go to 2 months on and 1 month off. I'll believe that when I see it. The months that you're working, it's only 8-10 days off, but the rest requirements and off-duty periods are better there than here. If you are on duty for 14 hours, you have to have 14 hours off duty before you can fly again, for example. 900 hours a year max, etc. Trips range from 4 day trips down to day turns.
They pay housing in a long-stay hotel called the "Royal Mirage." It's one of those hotel rooms with a kitchen, living room, etc.
They fly the legacies all over the world. They fly a lot to Seattle, Toronto, Singapore, Dubai, Russia, Europe, and the owner likes to go to the Maldive Islands out in the Indian Ocean. It should be interesting, at least.
The FO's are mostly great, although there is 1 FO that I already know of...so you know that isn't good. If people know your name before they even are working there...maybe that isn't such a good thing.
I'm just glad I'm leaving, Jon, because you and I CAN NOT fly together any more. We have too much fun and forget to do important, flight related tasks like (well, you know what). You just shouldn't be able to have that much fun at work, you know? Thanks for the good times. Write if you want more info.
