Ya was a huge surprise, was enjoying the training pay, then I got that check for $600 less and was like OUCH. It gets better the month after that, that one check just hurts because they adjust for over payment from the check before based on when you finish IOE, I finished on the 4th but got per diem till the 15th so they took a ton back, plus I had not gotten per diem for that month of line flying, because per diem is paid the end of the following month.
