Monthly guarantee is 75hrs but as of our most recent bid we were forced to bid a minimum 76hrs for the 28 day bid (we transition to monthly bidding in July). I'm not sure that we'll actually be able to bid the minimum guarantee for a long time (unless you take min days off and stand-ups). Hope that makes sense.

I wasn't able to bid, but was given an 80 hour schedule next month. Min days off, yes, but if you want the hours, you can get them.

I start ground school on June 4th and I have been studying the study packet they gave us, can someone give me a rundown of how C5's ground schools goes and if there is anything to expect while I'm there? Thanks

Week of company indoc
Week of systems
Week of cockpit procedures training and wrapping stuff up.

No weekend work. I think it was 8-5 every day, with lunch. Should be done by noon on your last day so you can make it home that day.

Plenty of stuff around the hotel to do/see/eat.

Does C5 have a training contract?

What are the times of people getting hired/interviews right now?

Is it hard to get an interview without an internal rec?

Are new hires getting ATPs and if not are they expected to within the next year?

Is the ATP written a requirement?

How much hiring is going on currently and expected for the future?

Exactly. You're flying 10hrs over guarantee which is great if you're looking for time/pay, but that's 2-3 extra days off that I'd prefer as a commuter. I would have gladly traded my extra 6 required hours for 2 more days off.

Are new hires getting ATPs and if not are they expected to within the next year? I'm guessing new hires may start getting ATP'd August and beyond. Anyone before that will probably get ATP'd during recurrent PC (unless it looks like they'll upgrade before Aug 2013). Right now only the ATP written is required for new hires, and everyone on property must complete the ATP written by Aug 1.

Is the ATP written a requirement? Yes

How much hiring is going on currently and expected for the future? A lot of hiring with virtually no end in sight.

What's really awesome is people who make a legal bid then get a butt pounding, all their trips have been reassigned to people junior to them and are left with reserve and min days off. Awesome!!! Good thing seniority rules are still alive and well. Ugh. Awful.

I was told it's for July and Aug now. Have an interview coming up in a few weeks and was told June was already full.
