You get the whole thing no matter your rent. Of course you must also move your family there or be single.

Thanks! Any opinions on the 3 year commitment package vs the "enhanced" 2 year commitment?

Gents, just got the call this week (during my annual sim check, no less)! Excited about moving up to a real company (currently with a greek-mythology-named ACMI carrier)
Background: Retired USAF, 5000TT, 1500TPIC, C-141, C-17, 3 yrs part 121 (747 F/O)
Question: I have a low last 4 SSN number so I expect to pick at bottom of the class. For family reasons I checked "NO" for CGN and HKG. Can I still get jammed into a CGN or HKG slot? Thanks in advance.

As already answered, you get the entire housing allowance, regardless of rent cost. It's a cool $42,000/yr. The best part: TAX FREE. (HKG Hosuing Allowance was increased with new CBA, cannot recall if CGN was also increased, may now be $3,700/mo?).

Classes typically start first Tuesday of the month. If they hand select you for MD11s, you'll start Monday. Two weeks out for notice. Next class starts 4/4-5.
