Minimum uniform is pants, hat, shirts, tie, epaulets, black belt, black shoes, (top coat or blazer must be worn over LS shirts), most buy a blazer as well. As mentioned earlier, you are responsible for the initial uniform which can be payroll deducted, $25/check I think.

For IOE, you will need headset, flashlight, ipad, spare battery and charger, (ipad etc can be company provided). I recommend a suitcase as well. I posted a long response on another thread regarding luggage and headsets. Try a search.

The ipad is a mini, nothing fancy, low memory 16gb I think. Most that use the company Ipad use it only for company stuff. I carry a personal one as well.

The commuter policy is pretty straight forward. You have to give yourself 2 options. Your first option has to get you to domicile 2 hours before check-in, your second option if you couldnt get on the first must get you in domicile 30 mins prior to your check-in time for your trip. If you get bumped from your first and call you can always ask scheduling to positive space you for your 2nd or even 3rd attempt, its a hit or a miss though.
Thanks!!!

Also do you get perdiem during Training?
Double accommodation during training?

No Perdiem during training
However you are paid 2.5 hours per day at the rate of $35.00 for every day you are in training.

Your first check will be a paper check after that direct deposit pay days 15, and the 30th.

Hotel is single occupancy and company pays for the room while in training
The Hotel is the Raddison in Appleton I understand that they have a free breakfast.

Breakfast wasnt free when i was there but awac has a pretty steep discount with the hotel, kinda reaching from my memory but i think i got breakfast for under 5 bucks including coffee. The hotel gives you a welcome sheet with discounts from local places to eat as well

So basically I can count on minimum guaranteed during training right?

Thanks a lot Graybird.

Yes, but they deposit a $5,000 bonus into your 1st check. So they basically pay you to learn in hopes you don't stress over cash while you're up in ATW. This $5,000 is on top of your normal paycheck.

In addition you get another bonus of at least $26,000 after you finish IOE (3-5 months after you start). Money should not worry you with what they are now offering. All this is ONTOP of your regular pay.

Check out their bonus structure down in the middle of the page. http://airwis.com/pilots.html

Speaking of pay, are you guys actually taking home what the claim on their website for years 1, 2 and 3? What's the typical monthly take home? Can the 26K be spread out from check to check throughout the year or is it a one lump sum? Thanks!

Check your PMs.

Excluding bonuses, my gross has been $5300 last month with 11 days off and $4150 the previous (IOE) with 14 days off. I haven't been working as much as I want to.
So far my YTD is 30.5k and If I can keep getting some open time a few days a month I'm looking at about 75k year 1.
I'm not on the brand new higher bonus deal, I'm on the previous 33k bonus over 3 years.
I am obviously not including the medical and dental side which is $500/mo on their side since it's not gross pay so their compensation pdf posted on the airwis website is pretty accurate I guess.
EDIT: From what I read the 26k is the new IOE bonus, I'd assume it's going to be in one paycheck, but you'd be better off asking someone from HR or Training Department.

Sports bar in the hotel gives a discount too. The Irish place next door was pretty sweet. Leg lamp lounge up the street was the go to place for our class. There's like 25 bars and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk and a college campus. Hidden gem is up by the school. Dr Jenkyls? Something like that up the street, bathroom has a bunch of penthouse cutouts in it. Also have your intructorr tell you guys the story about the class that sunk a pontoon boat
