I heard just plan the full first 4 months at $1600 plus per diem as you said above, no chance of getting going earlier. I’m guessing the end of year has become very busy for HR now and also heard that the next 747 class has 27 in it, any idea what the Jan and Feb classes for 777 are looking like?
Probably pretty small classes, they are not hiring much into that fleet right now. With the new MIA base, who knows.
Plan for the 4 months at $1600, the good thing is, with per diem first 3 months is effectively more like $4500/month (large part of the per diem is tax free).
Bring a car, buy groceries, cook your own food just like you would at home. It's not that expensive to live in the complex for 3 months. Unless you want it to be.
And plan ahead if you can. If (and its a big if, but who thinks COVID is going away anytime soon?) our COVID pay keeps on going for China, you'll catch up on the pay within the first few months on the line.
