That sounds about right.

That's how it works, pretty much. As soon as your OE is finished and you get the OK (or whatever it was) on your schedule, you'll be on reserve. As for pay, there will be a gap between the salary and the reserve pay, so expect a paycheck in the $100-$500 range. It will catch up the next month.

Before that was over though I got another 12 mo no interest for the other kid.


Then when one of those was done we got another for the previous kid.


And then one more.


We had a lot of medical bills. A lot. Had it been 40 years ago we would have probably lost both so it was worth every penny.

Joining and staying in the Military was the best decision I ever made...

Thanks. They explained the pay gap during indoc. As long as it eventually makes its way to me :).

Sounds like most of this was already answered.

I'll only add that if you end up doing OE on X days, they will return those days off to you in the form of PB days.

If you have remaining RES days in the month, they will automatically place the PB days on your subsequent RES days. If you don't have any more RES days in the month, the PB days go in the bank for later use (whole 'nother topic)

Give me a call! My husband is retired military and a fairly recent Delta new hire. I "speak pilot" and understand how you are paid.

PilotWife2,

Are you familiar with angrypilotwife ?

Whoever she is, she is a great writer. Her articles are much more entertaining that the typical flight crew member's kiss and tell book.*

(Buzz excepted, he had something to write about)
