Just make sure when you interview you ask about the bonus.

Pretty good chance of SLC out of training or soon after, no chance to hold captain there for at least a decade.

If you want SLC, only the CRJ is flown there.

We get a percentage of the company profits, paid out 2x a year based on credit hours.

401k is 3,5,7% match based on years of service. 5 years at 3%.

It's hard to say, it's currently under 2 years and falling. A new hire could see 1.5 years, 2 is more realistic.

Thank you for responding but could you be little more specific about the 401K? It's a 100% match at 3% and your not vested until 5 years of service?

Correct 100% vested.
They tried taking that away last pay package but pilot group voted it down.

Sorry, vested 100% from day 1. 3% match for 1-4 years completed service (I take this to mean it jumps on your 5 year anniversary. Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.) 5% years 5-9. 7% years 10 and up.

And yes, 100% match.

My profit sharing checks have been between $700 and $900 twice a year (and I don't work very much, so that's probably on the low end). You will also start getting quarterly performance bonuses after 1 year I believe.

Well yes... Just like every month. Although they've been putting the lines up by the 19th usually. If you're referring to the standing bid list, I don't think that's happening until end of Jan, like always.

Aircraft to choose? Crj or erj AND WHY?

If you choose ERJ, odds of getting SLC straight out of training are zero.

I started here last April and got SLC based in Sept. I think there are currently 3 slots coming open for FO here. Comes and goes, but odds are you'll get SLC pretty soon.
