I was hired August 15. Akro is pretty much on as far as the info. I'm about 290 on the seniority. I wanted MEM and was able to hold it. In fact, I think everyone is pretty much getting the base of their choosing.
I was told 15 hours of pay for the homestudy, 3.5 per day for indoc and 75hr/mo guarantee for YUL + per diem. My pass benefits and CASS were active by the time I got to to airport after leaving orientation, medical starts after 30 days of employment (your hire date will be when you go to orientation).
So far it seems like a good bunch of people. This is my third regional and hopefully my last.
Good luck.
