1. 401k contributions is either immediate or after one month. I cant remember. The match was something like dollar for dollar up to 6% and that increased based on longevity. Vesting period was 3 years minimum. All this may change with the sale. This was all under Bombardier.

2. You are paid for training.

3. Scheduling has changed since I was there last. It's a line bid system now. Don't know how it works yet, but basically you will end up with some sort of combination of 4 on, 3 off, 5 on, 3 off, or 6 on, 4 off each bid period. 16 day line maximum.
Options to bid lower or higher. 7/7 is something you can bid on but my understanding it is high seniority.

4. They use Aetna now. Again, with new parent company this may change.

5. $309 is daily rate

I'll try to answer any other questions you may have. I'll know more specifics myself when I start class.
