There are some others in my hire class with much longer down time than mine either due to difference equipment or seniority. I know if you're trying to schedule something in advance that's not going to help but I actually like having a bit of extra time to study up on limitations/memory items/flows before getting into the heart of the training so it works for me.

As far as pay, was told we were getting the normal training pay the entire time. However, I was told we only got 16 hours per day per diem for days we actually attended training. Getting that for days at home would be a nice surprise. Obviously haven't been here long enough to say what the pay stub shows.
Thanks for the info.

Payroll was always in Tulsa yet our W-2 never had a Tulsa address. Next theory.

Yes, We are OWNED by AAG the parent company of American. In theory, we are American Airlines.

True on the bottleneck training. They are short on check airman and from what Ive heard, quality of training have gone down the drain with new instructors on board.

in practice we are 'separate but equal'. Paid 1/3 to fly an airplane that's 1/3 of mainline.
But "We love to fly, and it shows"
Wait. No. That's Delta. :-D

Yep. Those travel benefits are actually active in that first week. Several guys used D2 to go home and come back over the weekend between that first week and the Monday test. Guy sitting next to me was excited about having the time and opportunity to use his travel benefits as a paid vacation due to the delay in training.

I hadn't heard that. Discouraging if true given that I'm starting training soon.
