UPS gave me a new start date April 28th, no date for Delta yet....

Thoughts?

Military 3000 TT, 2000 PIC/IP
Go with the airline that has been around longest and has a better track record for employee satisfaction. I know, when the time is bad, airlines will furlough but I have never heard one good thing about UPS managers taking care of their employees.

Anyway, you have a good problem on your hands. Make a choice and never look back. Seems like you have the luck of the Irish.!

I'd stick with Delta, unless you just happen to live near SDF.

UAL is 90 hours at around $70/hr plus per diem, and all hotels paid for throughout.

6-8 weeks. Unless they put you on hold, in which case it takes even longer. But then you're at home, chilling out, and still getting the pay.

FWIW, I wouldn't make a decision about which airline to choose based on any of this.

totally understand, just trying to plan. It seems as though the pay during training is the same whether it is for 6 or 8 weeks. They pay you for the training not the duration of the training is that correct?

They pay you 90 hours per month plus per diem from the day you start, until you are done with training. Regardless of how long it takes. I'm still getting it while waiting for IOE after transitioning aircraft. I doubt that'll last much longer.

Is that pro-rated for 6 weeks or is it a $3800 if it takes 4 weeks or 6 weeks?
