Get the CP's phone number from your recommender and make a call. Actually, keep calling until you get through - don't leave a message. I kept calling until he answered, and the next day I had a job offer. Be ready to jump. Half my class seems to have been called on Thursday or Friday to be in Miami on Sunday.

Oh and email your resume, if you only faxed it before.

I'm not on the line yet, so my info is secondhand via HR and various instructors. There are several kinds of additive pay credits above guarantee, and trip rig in the contract. They say you often will not break basic guarantee in your 20 day block, however the guy in HR estimated the average paycheck is around 80-90 credits.

There is a trip rig of 3.5 hours/credit for every day away from base.
If you are out for more than 20 days you get extended duty pay, which is trip rig at 5.0 credit/day.
If you work a guaranteed day off you get block plus 4.0 on top of guarantee.
The posted payscale looks current.
1st year CA 88.49 FO/SO 59.42
2nd year CA 105.84 FO/SO 67.91
