Soon you will all be paying to live in the out stations.
Is it still true that you don't get paid during training?
Paid training, flights and hotel as well as per Diem as well. Insurance paid by the company.

The person who's going to Dallas from Atlanta just got hired , he lives in Dallas , he got Atlanta , he requested the move.

Do you know anything about boutique ?

Yes! Congrats on getting your base and hope I'm the one to fill your spot!

So many incorrect statements in this post that it makes me cringe.

Yeah looks like everyone's covered everything. DFW was my first choice and I got it exactly a month after passing my ride.

Paid CBT's
Paid ground school.
Paid flight training in the PC-12.
Per diem in training.
Crew house and transportation provided entire time.

On the line, hotels for overnights or crew house if the base has one.
I accepted the transfer because I wanted it, they recognized my bid and as soon as there was an opening I got it. I could have turned it down and stayed in ATL, they even gave me a few days to think about it.

In the month I've been here I haven't met anyone who doesn't want to be here.

Good to hear. How many hours did they hire you with? I see they prefer 500 TT, but just require a CPL and instrument. I'm at 224 TT, and applied anyway just for a shot in the dark. I'm sure they are hiring pilots that have a lot more time than me.

I got hired at 440. I've heard of people not getting hired until 800+. I've also heard of people getting hired around 250. It all depends on supply and demand.

Not getting hired until 800+? The horror.

Applied at 530tt, interviewed at 550tt, showed up to training at 640tt a month later. But I also didn't get my commercial until 510tt.
