A new hire won’t pay anywhere near 25% under the new rates and with the standard deduction (unless you live in CA,NJ, or NY).

Edit: just did some back of the napkin math for married working 76 hours a month with standard deduction. You’d pay about 9% federal plus fica hi & lo (total 7.65%) plus state (if applicable).

Yeah, I made $40 an hour my first year (2014). I cut everything to the bone, didn’t even buy coffee for the entire year. Luckily I had a military gig to help mitigate it, so I can’t complain. It was well worth the jump....

Does anyone have recent experience with how long the wait is between indoc and aircraft training? Specifically 190's. Are there CBT's to do and flows to learn before start date?

Typically 2-5 weeks between end of Indoc and start of ground training. E190 course is slightly longer than 320/737 due to the lack of CBTs; maybe 3-5 more days total due to more ground school. I’m sure someone from that fleet could provide that info.

You’ll have a projected start/finish date associated with your domicile and aircraft bid. Some bid to start ASAP, some to delay as long as possible. Minor pros/cons either way. The dates aren’t set in stone though, and the wait could be longer than you were told via the bid by the time your training is actually loaded.
