Holiday pay--No.
Late pay, $500. (If you get back to home base after midnight from time zone you started. ie, end in TEB, must be home by midnight east coast time, thus 9pm if you live on west coast).
If you start before 0600 home base time on first day, $500.
Lately they have offered overtime at $850/day for working a day before or a day after your normal 8 on schedule.

Ignorant to 135 — and all airline flying
Wheels Up is starting to seem a bit appealing. Went through FSI with a few Wheels Up pilots in Oct/2015 in ATL. Anyways I have a few questions. Please excuse my ignorance as I know very little about airline flying.
Does 135 flying appeal to the majors similar to 121?
Do you have minimum credit time each month?
What is your average credit time vs block time each month?
With per diem, credit time, plus any additional income what does a pay check or yearly income look like?
I would be out out of OKC. I am assuming I would be on the road overnighting all 8 days on?
Do they reimburse airport parking?

We have WAY more bases than that. Pretty much every major airport is a base. I’m BOS based, and we have guys based all over the country. Was just flying with an ALB (yes, Albany, NY) based guy and I know we have guys in PVD too. TPA, MIA, IAD, TEB, ATL, etc. The list literally goes on. Not to mention they’re pretty open when it comes to suggestions for new bases, though I’m not sure they’ve opened any new ones based on that. Basically, don’t let that list deter you from applying or calling to get more info.
EDIT: We need pilots badly, and we needed them like, yesterday lol. So if you meet the requirements then apply. Also, to answer a previous question about upgrade: as part of the new pay scale, there’s an agreement that after a year (if you don’t upgrade before that) as SIC, you will have an upgrade evaluation and be awarded PIC pay regardless of a PIC opening. Only downside is you don’t go to year 2 PIC pay, but first year instead. Still, $55k to $90k is a good jump especially if you’re still right seat.

I've seen the ads on the orange site, but they don't list mins for sic position, are they still 135 mins?

I don't have the answer to that.
No. You are on salary. Fly 1 hour or 70 hours, the pay is the same.
no credit time, again you are on salary.
per diem is $59 per day, so if you are away from home every day of your 8 day on tour you would receive $472. Pay is every two weeks. 1st year is $55,000 for F/O (2115.38 every other Friday), $90,000 for Captains (3,461.54). So you would receive $12,272 for per diem.
Most likely. They might (small chance) have you stay home on standby, thus no per diem but you are considered working.
No.

Boi or Smf base
Hi guys, I was hoping someone could tell me wether or not these 2 bases might be an option? I know they are not listed now. Is there someone I could ask within the company? I am currently a X Captain and heard you guys will be getting a few this year. Thanks

SMF is a current base. As far as being hired as a X Captain, they are planning to upgrade from within, but who knows?? If they hire from outside, they will make many people mad!
