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?).

no CGN increase. Euro is down.

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.

Congrats!!! Good time to move on from the Greek-mythology-named ACMI carrier!

According to APC, Fedex is NOT hiring right now. This was just updated too. Funny because I was just updating my times on pilot credentials and now it won't let me upload a resume. Was it just my browsers or is this true?

How much is training pay?
When do you start receiving regular flight pay, after check ride or after OE?

$4000 a month before Uncle Sam gets his cut. Real pay starts after IOE validation.

Thank you.
On average, how long is that taking for new hires, 2-3 months?
Is lodging during intitial paid by the company or by the pilot?
Is there a wait for insurance or is it a day 1 benefit?

I don't know what the average is, but I would guess that it's different for each airframe. You're at the mercy of sim availability and scheduling. It took me exactly three months and one week from day one of indoc to be released to the line. But, that was also in December during holidays and peak time. Some have had schedules that weren't as compressed and can take a couple weeks longer.

No extra lodging if you're based in MEM.

Benefits are started on day one of indoc.

pretty sure the hiring is going to continue. They are interviewing every week. I had heard 500 for the year.
