A big confusing point I have is when does pay & per diem start? Earlier in the thread it was indicated we are not "on property" until FO class. This agrees with what the recruiters suggested in the interview (i.e. don't pass the ATP-CTP=not hired.) However, my new hire forms all listed the first day of ATP-CTP as my DOH. Anyone recently through care to chime in?
(still planning to not be paid until FO begins, but would be happy to find out different.)
You are not considered an employee until day 1 of new hire indoc. You are not considered an employee in the ATP/CTP course. I can't speak to the pay other than the CTP course if being provided for you free of charge. It does not come out of your bonus like some airlines do. I would imagine pay and per diem will start day 1 of new hire class.
