That's what he told me. He wasn't exaggerating either. Remember they have guys applying from Canada to Argentina. What they pay seems to be in the ball park with other Latin American airlines, so to a Chilean or Venezuelan they look at is differently then you and I. His class had guys with all kinds of experience from all over the world. Also said the training is much harder then any 121 airline in the US, and 3 times longer. So expect to be paid that $800 for about 6 months.
