Do medical benefits start on day one?
It's my understanding that the signing bonus of up to $22,100.00 is contingent on signing a 2 year contract. What are the factors that affect how much of a bonus you receive? Are there any other bonuses offered?
As far as upgrade time, it's my understanding that people with 1000+ 121 time can get an upgrade on the first bid. How long does it take to get off of IOE from date of upgrade award?
Thanks.
Never mind that guy. To answer your questions:
Yes. FYI if you're married and your spouse works they charge a "surcharge" of $100 a month in addition to the premium you pay for family. Penalty fee is a better name for it.
22,100 is for the 145 & crj. If you're old enough in the class to get the 175 then it'll be 17,500. You'll have to agree to the two year contract to receive a signing bonus. I'm told if you leave before completing two years you owe it back, but if you get a year done they'll pro rate it. So those are your choices - 22.1 or 17.5, don't sign=no bonus, sign=bonus, accept bonus=2 yr commitment
For upgrade, last I heard we have unfilled captain vacancies and if you qualify (2500TT, 1000/121) you can upgrade.
I'm not sure how backed up they are on IOE. My guess is a couple of weeks from the recent new guys I've talked to.
Hope that helps.
