nothing at all is covered in terms of hotel accommodations.
What about hotel during training? If not, how long does one have to prepare for to pay out of pocket?
again, nothing.. their assumption is this is a HNL based airline and you'll move here from day 1. They pretty much treat you as if you're living here from the get go, asking you to "Swing by the office and get your paper work" before your actual class start date....
This isn't to say everyone does move, but that's the way they see it. I got myself a apartment room for $900/mo near by. Check craigslist, etc... Hotel would get prohibitively expensive... more than $3000/mo..
Are you getting your minimum $36x75hrs from day I of ground school? What about travel benefits on HAL, do they kick in from day one as well? how about CASS, how long till that is taken care of?
yep, and ironically you're also getting per diem... for a portion of ground school... don't ask me to explain that but I know we all did, even those who reside on the island. It was about $2/hr in per diem plus the 75x36 pay.
When do you know what fleet you get assigned to?
Thanks so much!
day one or two at the lastest.... goes by social security number and lowest is most senior..... in our class, the oldest people were actually junior to the youngest.... different from every other airline/carrier I've worked at but I know other airlines also do this practice.
