Even better! I hope your right about the training pay, for sure, but are you sure that's right on the AA side? I thought "short" and "long" call were a US thing.

aapilotguy says 73hrs/mo training & reserve, no distinction. Would be nice to have the US 85 hrs in training! And, that is what I've read/heard from multiple sources about the B plan, that it starts after the 1st year. Disappointing.

The new hire mentor program is now an FAA requirement and all airlines should have a program or be developing one. The FAA was not very specific and and gives the airlines a lot of latitude with the programs.
DAL has 50 new-hire mentors who have all been to Atlanta for a two-day mentor training class. Not sure if any other airline is so formal with the mentoring program.

73 hrs @ $40.
Paid monthly for the month you're in.
After probation pay lags a month. June flying paid in late July. So the transition from probation to regular pay causes a gap in pay of approx. 1 month. Bad deal. Good deal is that after you retire you get a paycheck a month later and by then your wife has probably forgotten about it. ;-)
I wouldn't lose sleep over understanding the pay lag issue before getting hired. Twelve months of property to figure it out.

Thanks to both of you for letting all of us new hires know that there is a mentoring program.
With that being said….
-Do new hires pay for their own uniforms? If so, payroll deductible?
-Can you give the 'quick and dirty' on airport employee parking passes and how they work at satellite/co-terminals i.e. will we get passes for EWR, LGA and JFK for NYC base?
-I know the B-plan is currently at 16%. Does AA match any portion of your own $$ that is put into the 401k? Is there a Roth 401k option?
-It's my understanding (from a previous thread) that you bid for aircraft based on your age (oldest to youngest) within your new hire class but then your ACTUAL SYSTEM SENIORITY for the remainder of your career at American Airlines is determined by who completes training first. Can you please confirm this.
Thanks very much for your time.
