Is there a place I can go to find out about benefits, schedules, etc?

Thanks in advance for your input. I appreciate it.
The short version:

Training pay is $500/week. No hotel room is provided, you are on your own.

The training department is not adversarial. Incompetent is more the word that comes to mind.

Benefits, 401k match of 50% of the first 6% you contribute. Insurance? Not really. It's an HSA plan. It's sort of insurance and sort of not.

Schedules: That's a biggie. They suck. Seniority doesn't matter. Random days off, random reserve days, a lot of single days off, a lot of TDY (depending on where you are based), can't trade or drop due to no staffing, but you could fly 105 hours a month.


Rumor has it the hotel and training pay may have changed, but I don't know if it's true or not.
