Can anyone venture a guess as to what percentage of trips on each fleet start and end at ONT, SNA and SAN?

South lot. Easy walk to the terminal

none start in SAN. Very little in ONT and BUR. ER has a decent number of SNA starts, none on other fleets rn

Payroll question.. How many hours is our flight advance paycheck and how do they determine that number? My check tomorrow seems a little less than normal by a couple hours. Thanks.

It’s half of the month’s Average Line Value for your category. If you’re in a seat with more than one pay rate, it’s 1/2 of ALV x the lower rate.

1/2 of reserve guarantee, not ALV

Random question:

Turning 40 this summer and just wanted to make sure I read the FAA medical page correct. Say I get a medical in March, since I’m still 39 at the time of examination I’m still good for 12 months and wouldn’t need an EKG or medical until March 2024 right? The “annual” wording on the EKG has me a little confused so just wanted to double check. TIA

Finishing up my ATP CTP/ATP written, which I self-funded for an interview opportunity with Alaska after SkyWest indefinitely postponed my class date. 2100tt, 1500 jet, 700 single pilot jet, 2 type ratings. Turning 30 next month, no intention to leave Oregon (hence the draw to AS).

I just found out Delta may consider someone with just the ATP written complete, no ATP. Do I have a chance? If hired, what’s the likelihood of being based in Seattle? I don’t really care about airframe, but at least the opportunity for WB at some point is kind of cool. What are your thoughts on Delta vs Alaska? Thanks for any and all feedback.

FWIW, people leave carriers for another all the time, even after only a few months. Put in apps everywhere, take the first job you are offered, and interview as able. Best of luck.
