Good tip, I would have gone in completely under-prep'd for that.

Stop reading now, the internets have been conquered. Here is the winner.

Does anybody know the weekly hours acquired during training? We are paid hourly and I was trying to figure out a ball park number as to what that works out to be. 30/week 40/week ?

New hire training pay is flat rate for the month. I think it’s $2k/month pre tax/deductions with $26/day (use/lose per day) lodge bucks for food.

Cutover to hourly pay/min guarantee occurs upon completion of your LOE (checkride) and you start getting min guarantee of 75 hours a month at that point. Fwiw, for future training events (transition/upgrade), if you have 15 or more days in a bid period in training, min guarantee is 80 hours. Doesn’t help newhires though. NH pay is rough, but fortunately only lasts 5-6 weeks, then you’ll be making $88x75hr while you wait for/during IOE.

ok, I was just going by what the offer letter said which was $28.57/hr. If its $2000 a month, then we are in class about 70 hours.

Thanks for the info though! Appreciate it.

Yeah...they say it’s $28.57 x 70 hours which is where the $2k comes from.

Not exactly sure how they get the 70 hours though.

I recorded my NH work schedule very accurately. It was 39 days total footprint. 10 days off within that footprint. For the first two weeks, days were 8-9 hours, then the last 3 weeks they were 6 hours. Total hours worked (in class or sim) for the 39 days was 197. Comes to an avg of 6.8 working hours per day worked, with 3/4 days in the footprint being work days.

Hope that helps.

Heck yeah. Nice Breakdown! Oh well, like you said, its just for a short time anyway. Sucks when you take a 20k paycut, but then the long term pay is what helps ease the pain.

So did many of you actually wear Jeans during training? I know it says we can, but didnt want to be the odd man out. Def do not want to give a bad impression.

Dark jeans and a collared shirt are perfectly acceptable.
