Also, does the employee have immediate non-rev benefits, are you put in CASS off the bat or wait until after training? I'm curious because I may have to come back on the weekend, and if she needs to see the doctor, what benefits do we have as a new hire.
Thx guys.
You have no benefits for 90 days. I believe you are in CASS after you get your ID badge and if I remember that takes about a week. If you need to go home I'd talk to your instuctor. Honestly, you should've done your homework prior to coming to training. I have a daughter and picked up medical for $275 a month from United Healthcare for those 90 days. And if you plan on commuting from the east coast to Skywest, your wife needs to plan on being more independent than what she is now because you will be gone alot. You needed to find a support network for her before you interviewed. A week prior to training isn't the time figure out what you need to start this job.
