Hello Everyone!
First I would like to thank everyone who took their time to read my post and reply to my questions. everything is new for me so I apologize if i made any mistakes. I recently accepted offer and i choose my class date on Sep 23rd ATP-CTP and Oct 10 Class date.

1) When do they normally assigned type of Aircraft and base?

2) Can anyone break down training for me like what type of training, how many days ATP-CTP, In-doc, any breaks between etc?

3) did anyone received signing bonus as they advertised? when? for me it is very important since i'm planning to move with family once the base i will be assigned because they don't have hotel policy for commuter pilot.

4) What base i should go for to be less time on reserve?

5) do they have Duty rig pay as well?

6) what is a monthly pay-stub looks like with flying 75 minimum hours if you are unable to make extra trip? like 75 min+ any per diem+ etc...??

I really appreciate for your insight and any additional info will help.

Thank you everyone.

I start tomorrow. Most of the information you are looking for is on the APC profile page and in the forums here. A simple search will return most of the stuff you are looking for.

Thank your for your time.
If you starting tomorrow did they give you any signing bonus?

 

No trip or duty rigs (one of the problems in our contract), base assigned your first week, expect Newark or Chicago (Cleveland maybe possible, Houston within a few months at worst), you should receive all your bonus money on schedule, the training flow is: CTP, indoc, systems/FTD, gen ops, sims, IOE.

Enjoy. You'll be coming just as I'll be going. Welcome.

 

If you have a qualifying type you get the $5k first week from what I am told, the rest at the end of IOE.

I read Newark will be less time on reserve like 1-2 months only..
Are you commuting?
I’ll be commuting from Orange County.. California..until I move to base

 

I live in Jersey

 

Everyone gets 5k (pre-tax, 3-3.5 net) during indoc week
