How commutable are the trips with RAH? Do most trips begin a O-dark thirty and end late on the final day? Are there certain bases to seek out because they are more commutable? If so, which ones?

First year with the bonus I would say 50k is possible. 59k is with all benefits. Kind of misleading, but it is meant to be.

So do you make more year one than you do years two and three with the bonus?

It's probably close or a bit more after year 1 since you don't have a 3 month period of min pay.

I'm sure this is posted in the thread somewhere farther back. I'm looking to come to RAH. I've heard different things about the minimum time you need to start. Is it 1450/1465/1475 or 1500?

Ask again after the Dec 1 consolidation of certificates. Everything will be much clearer then.

Generally it's highly variable and base dependent, but I almost always get trips commutable on at least one end. However I'm on the shrinking certificate (S5). YMMV...

It's accurate if you consider the ENTIRE compensation package (wages, per diem, signing bonus, benefits) AFTER training is complete. Wages are estimated at $40K (they use about 83 hours/mo), per diem is $5800, signing bonus $7500 (with ATP), and benefits are $6200. However, Year 1 also consists of 3-5 months of training where you get less pay. First month of training is $1600 and systems/sims is paid at MMG. Therefore, your first full year of wages from date of hire will be in the neighborhood of $37K. There's no per diem during training so that's another $1900 lost. So I'd say that actual first year compensation (from date of hire) with a $7500 signing bonus would be more like $54.5K.

Year 2 wages barely move ($41/hour), but you'll gain the per diem and 12 months worth of flying wages. So Year 2 would be around $53K total compensation since there is no bonus.

PER DIEM IS NOT COMPENSATION!!!

The ad downright lies, not to mention the fact that it's disingenuous to include medical benefits when advertising pay.

I'm surprised they didn't tack on a price tag to the flight benefits too....

Why? Every company likes to talk about how great their benefits are.
