I'm curious, for the sake of your assertion.
As explained we are payed 4 hours of flight pay per day of training (training is currently 6 days per week) and 24 / 7 per-diem. Your four hour a day guarantee is based on your first year seat / equipment. The accommodations in training are excellent. Single occupancy suites at the Fairfield Marriott in FLL and the stay bridge in MSP.

Captain year 1 - 6 = 41 - 62

Roughly, I don't have the contract in front of me but that is very close.
I am not saying 3M is the greatest nor the worst. There are growing pains and downsides, however there is also A LOT of upside and potential. I wasn't here during the GIA days and except for the pilots no one else was either. All of management etc. is new and looking to move on from the GIA days. I have been treated very well since coming here and everyone is very excited about the new company and the potential. The current goal is 550 pilots and 33 saabs by spring of next year. Will this happen idk, but I'd prefer those rumors / goals over what is happening to those good guys at places like 9E, XJ, T-States etc. Best of luck to all of them!
