I read in this thread that Avantair doesn't pay you until after training. So when do you actually get a paycheck, and about how much is that check? I think someone said you get a per diem check after your check ride, then go on salary. I assume it's about a month before you see the per diem money, and then how long until a normal paycheck? Also, I may have missed it, but when do benefits (aka health insurance) kick in?
I'm looking to move on from my regional, but need to make sure my family and I can survive financially until the new paychecks start coming in. Thanks.
