Block or better?
Standup overnights?
What is the credit time when a flight cancels, either due to maint, wx or atc delays?
Medical insurance - How much do they contribute?

Junior Saab bases?

A friend of mine is in the May 18th Saab class and he was placed in BHB. Everyone from his was scattered around the network. He was the youngest in his class, so I guess BHB is the bottom of the barrel.

Questions about work rules? Work rules currently suck.
Block or better? yes. not that it will really matter because most on the saab only get 75 guarantee due to IAD/IAH lines being built with 60-70 hrs.
Standup overnights? yes
What is the credit time when a flight cancels, either due to maint, wx or atc delays? block or better
Medical insurance - How much do they contribute? I dont know but I am single and pay about $80 every paycheck for the highest level. Lowest level used to cost me about $40.

Junior Saab bases?
any chance getting Bar Harbor Maine?

Whats reserve like? and yes I already know lousy. QOL sucked as a senior FO, and I hear it's worse for junior reserves guys. I just had ground with some houston saab dudes and newark Q dudes and that is what they all said (and I can confirm NE saab for myself). not like usual reserve suck, but like really really suck. probably because scheduling/mgmt doesnt give a crap about the pilot QOL/morale in the gutter and does whatever they want and changes rules on a daily basis

Realistic take home pay? $1575 (75x21) minus health insurance and taxes. you may be able to make more due to the summer season now but that is only temporary. as long as Matt Hand is building the lines they will continue to be below guarantee. (yet there is like 500 hrs of open time that they juniorman/extend lineholders with everyday)

$1575 is gross. For me, single, 75 hours, after taxes, mid-level medical, and uniform deductions, take home was .... (drum roll)

$1150

Perdiem ranges from $0 for day trips to about $400 for four-days.

Is that 1575 per check (every 2 weeks) or per month?

$1575 per month is the equivelant of $9.85 per hour working a regular job 40 hours per week. Just in case you were interested.

If this was a joke, you made me laugh. If not, well then, I don't know what to say . . .

No joke, take a look at the airline profiles and do the math with the handy calculator provided. I don't care how fun the job is $9.85 per hour equivelant is just not worth it. Stop the insanity
