On a different forum, I read in one post that the money is paid twice per month and that it is taxed.

But in another post, I read that it is actually paid weekly, and that check is a per diem check, so there is no tax... as in, you get a check for $400, and you cash all 400 bucks. This implies you get to keep all $400 per week (no taxes).

Anyone gone through Pinnacle training able to shed some light on this?

Only recently did Pinnacle raise the new hire pay... so even if when you went through when it used to be 300/week or 200/week, how was that money paid to you?

Much thank yous to all 9E pilots!
