We have guys still waiting for OE after three months, and those classes were every other month. They cranked up to the every three weeks mode with the June class - wonder how bad it'll get?

I saw that training was $1600/month until completion of IOE, is that before or after taxes, medical, etc? Also, do you get paid per diem during training on top of that training salary?

FWIW, the pilot rep (1year 767 pilot)who did a great job explaining the pros and cons noted his OE had several gaps. He completed his OE/Training Pay cycle just under 4 months. What was of interest is he was averaging about 78 credit hours during his first year (remember 50 is first year contractual min vs. 62 thereafter----so budget accordingly).
Best of luck.

Wow... and with that training pay for 5-6 months and probably way more! I may have to rethink where I want to go. Can't feed a family for that long on $1600/month.

You get about $1700/mo per diem while in training. This is not taxed. You only get it while actually down in MIA though. If you sit at home between sim and OE, you do not get per diem for that time.

Welcome to Atlas.
When the 767 program started, we sat at home for 3 months before getting called. Even better, you get to come back for another checkride if you won't get 100 hours in 120 days. One guy in my class took 4 check rides overs 8 months before actually seeing an airplane.
At least we're consistent.

From: Right side 76
Interviewed on 8/26 as well.
Pooled on the 28th (very happy about that, can't wait to start class!)
Hoping for a class the end of Sept, heard that rumor as well. The extremely sad part is the training pay is not going to be much of a pay cut from my regional gig!! (1st year base)
3200 TT
no TPIC
8000 FE (C-5, B727)
Oh, on a side note... I've been applying since 2013 and never got a response to my emails. Don't think that means anything as they finally got in touch. I guess some do and some don't so don't be discouraged if they don't email you after you apply...

Training pay is $1600/mo gross (before taxes, insurance, etc.). Training pay ends (and first year pay starts) at the completion of OE or 4 months from DOH, whichever comes first. The 4 month rule is actually coming into play for a bunch of us right now.
You get about $1700/mo per diem while in training. This is not taxed. You only get it while actually down in MIA though. If you sit at home between sim and OE, you do not get per diem for that time.
