i just got hired by silver, i've been reading the past couple of pages and i gotta ask are the current pay scale on this site correct? is 2nd year pay that low and is per diem only after 9hrs of duty time? how do you guys pay your bills?

Ok, Ill say it... You applied. You got called for an interview. Went to said interview. Passed said interview. And NOW your asking what the pay is?

What stopped you from asking these questions at the interview? Remember you are also supposed to interview them to make a sound decision on taking the job. I guess you can still call them and ask these questions before you show up for class. You better hear it from them directly then on this forum.

My initial reaction:

My secondary reaction, "Is your name Tyrell?"



And finally, for serious:

Yes, those pay scales are correct. Yes, you only receive per diem after 9 hours of duty. A lot of people eat into their savings to survive the first few years. It's atrocious and a MAJOR reason why people are leaving in droves.

Please, for the love of Frank (whom was right), do some damn research before going to an interview.

I hope you didn't choose Silver because you live near one of the out stations and are hoping to be home based

So how many people are flowing thru to United this month with the United Express flow thru?:p:D

Are they still trying to dangle that carrot in our faces?

I forgot to say it yesterday, so I'll say it now:

Happy Per Diem Bump Day! Per diem is now calculated at $1.75/hour for all duty over 9 hours.

:mad:
I should have made YOU pay for lunch!:p

I can't believe you actually posted this.
