The pay rates on the previous page are correct.

No 401K right now but benefits are being added practically by the day.

Reasonably decent insurance plans with international coverage while you're in duty.
Any estimate on how long from class start to completion of IOE?

There is a 401K, just no matching........yet.

Perdiem is $2.50 an hour

Profit sharing program is being developed.

$5000 peak season bonus paid last year, expect the same this year,

If you want to work a lot and make the overtime multipliers, there is plenty of opportunity.

If you don't have an hiccups in training, you can be on IOE in 45 days from start of training.

Lots of good guys to work with. Not a place for prima donnas.

The Queen of MEL's. It's WGA for God's sake. Just more stuff to break and you guys to defer on a 747.

As far as the other comments...I know exactly what I'm walking into gents but thanks for your concerns. And no, I don't have any busts, DUI's or other negatives or anything of that sort. Quite the opposite in fact.

I assume you have some intimate knowledge of WGA to make your assertion. The place works well for some not not so well for others. So if you insist on making your remarks, please provide some facts. It's a much different place then it was 10 months ago.
