Cockpit scenes filmed with approval, in partnership with Envoy Air Inc., under Part 91… Becoming a line-holder for the first time is a big deal for new airline pilots. It improves your pay, quality of life, and work schedule. If you’re researching airlines you’d love to fly for one day, understanding the individual policies for each airline should be one of your top priorities. This is what my first month as a “line-holding” pilot looked like, in comparison to my last month on reserve. The timing for the transition to line-holding status depends a lot on bidding seniority, aircraft type, and base selection.

If you’re wondering how the “bidding” process works, that’s a full topic for an upcoming video!
