First 12 months pay... hard to say... but because of training pay issue.. I would think 50-55k.. could be vary a lot. As for hotel... its my understanding with the new AQP initial... you are probably on the hook for two weeks of housing on your own... in the past it was about 4 weeks so .. not quite as bad. And finally yes.. essentially you are responsible for getting to AQP each year... BUT as someone above mentioned... that does not always hold true because your AQP would have to start on your first day... or they would have to leave you on R4 home reserve ( VERY VERY rare )... if they bring you out.. and say 5 days later your AQP is scheduled.. they must get you to and from... the basis for this is that YIP is in theory your base... and training is in base.. so they assert they don't have to fly you to your domicile..... thats the way its stated in the contract. whew... good luck... spoke with a guy who interviewed recently and was surprised to find out that of the 4 guys who interviewed that day... none had heavy international time... and 3 of the 4 had less than 5000k hours.
Hopefully after reading this, that I have a chance. Originally Posted by HercDriver130

My apologies, was just writing what I know from my relative who is on the -400. I'm not trying to stir something up that shouldn't be.Originally Posted by Neosporin
