Highlights.....and things to consider.
$2000 training pay until activated.
First year pay while overseas. UAL used to do 2nd year pay for Guam guys and I get asked all the time if we do that. NO. We do not. You get first year pay. No extra allowances for schools, etc outside what is listed in LOA.
Commuting to FDA might not be impossible, but probably not a smart move on probation.

Have a friend who just started a United and apparently they still put new hires on 2nd year pay if assigned to Guam. You'll also get an additional $3K/month stipend.

Of course, until there's an interview invite, this is all just talk. But it felt a lot better than the guy over at American who literally was kicking me in the nuts underneath the table while he was inferring that I had no business talking to them. It was also way better than the junior F.O. over at UPS that didn't do much more than ask me TMAAT questions.

Do you know how the "Enhanced" FDA outlined here is compared to the normal one it references in the CBA? I'm guessing the Enhanced has more benefits tied to it (although the regular one says 3 years instead of 2?)
Thanks for the quick response, btw!

I heard about the AA tool. I would expect the company is going to get a lot of feedback on his act. You weren't alone.
School in ESF (English school foundation) programs run about 17-20k per year.
The "non enhanced" move package was a credit hour payout but no housing allowance. With rents for 3 BR flats running $4500 and up I do not see them being a viable option for either FDA. Someone else with more SA might be able to chime in, but I didn't see it as an even close alternative to the 60k plus in housing we get every year in the Kong...
I live now in Discovery Bay. Dinner out with 1 daughter runs 50-100 bucks. Coffee is 3-4 bucks like in many major cities. I am sure there are bargains somewhere but life in expat-vile is pricey. I am enjoying it, but I am a new captain with almost 14 years here. Other folks can chime in but as a new hire it will be challenging. You won't but dinner if you are flying with me, however. That said...it will still be s challenge.
