Why do you think they offer COLA and second year pay? Continental offered COLA since 1998.

I start BI in a couple months and not looking forward to 1st year pay, so:

1. What is the latest on the trips out of GUM? NRT, MNL, and HNL? Any Australia/NZ?

2. Any junior 737 GUM pilots out there want to screen shot their monthly schedule?

3. Does Amazon ship there?
1. HNL "out of GUM" is via the Hopper. They tend to go kinda senior. The 777 goes direct once daily. No Aus / NZ, NRT is 3 - 5 times daily, plus we have NGO, KIX and FUK. NGO and KIX have daily mornings and a few every evening flights every week. We used to have MNL overnights but they just got rid of them

2. I dunno the rules about putting that kind of stuff online but put it this way, no matter how junior your are, just by the nature of the flying, your schediule is going be pretty efficient. It's very easy to string long stretches of days off in a row, and we can also do that with compressed reserve.

3. Amazon does ship as long as your product doesn't have a battery in it. The postage costs though. I usually work on a cart and get bulk stuff sent at once as it's cheaper. Then you need to wait a few weeks for it to arrive. Prime subscriptions are useless inless you like the streaming.

I think its a great opportunity for someone with a bit of flexibility / adventurousness to come out and skip first year pay.

Speaking of GUM-MNL, does that flight often get weight restricted? I’ll probably be riding it in a few weeks and am weighing the possibility of buying a ticket. I’m just off of medical leave and can’t jumpseat yet.

Thank you!

Ebay was a good option if you are looking for free shipping. Sellers using USPS often included shipping, you can filter items to include it. Not all things are listed to ship to the US and Terrirories, but I used to look there a lot living in Saipan.

Default Blocking days off

How many days off can you typically join up? it possible to do back to back days off? I am a new joiner considering commuting from Kuala Lumpur.

Any insight on the Roster patters would be amazing!!! thanks in advanced everyone.

Guam pilots have the option of compressable reserve where you can have 13-14 days off in a row.
