They are paid from day one of indoc. The problem is that if they sit forever before getting on line, they are losing out on potentially over 10K in FDP if they sit a long time waiting for the 350, or perhaps even if they get through training fast, they may have been assigned the XLS and still make 10K less than someone on the 350 hired the same day and who also gets an extra month or two at home waiting for training. The entire FDP system is exceedingly unfair to those that have no choice in what fleet they are put in and it is still quite unfair to those that are off of seat lock and have some choice.
