If you add it all up, I think it’s about $4k a month training pay. If this has changed maybe somebody who’s been through recently can chime in. There are opportunities for Overtime during the year, and it’s a grab it when they have it kind of thing it seems most often.
benefits are reasonable. $357mo for buy-up family plan BC&BS, family buy-up dental is like $90mo. Lots of optional life disability choices too.
the retirement is lacking though. It’s a 401k with a 100% match on only 5% of your gross.
Im being told they’re finishing guys sooner now. You also go on regular pay upon finishing sim, not after finishing IOE like some other places. I do know the initial ground is almost half what it used to be. It’s a much more condensed and focused program. When they give you study material or CBT access, take it seriously.
