Something that has been on my mind as of late. How do you get paid in training. Is it direct deposit or hard checks? Also, how do you like MEM? I requested that as a domicile on my app.
MEM is fine. Flying is easy, lots of breaks during the day after each return to the hub. Gotta get used to the pace of things, slow, slow, slow. Chief pilot is great. His assistant is WORTHLESS. MEM airport is a dump, but it is what it is. Not a lot of variety for eats, so plan to bring your own food and keep it in the crew room refrigerator. Lots of guys pack for a whole 3 or 4 day trip and just eat in the crew room each meal. Lenny's, Corky's, Interstate, and Arby's get old after a while.
Pay in training is bi-weekly 75 hour guarantee. Each check will be roughly 34.62 hours at $22.81. That gross's out to be $789.58 per check less your taxes and medical and uniform etc. Like was already mentioned you can do either direct deposit or check.
