Are you aware of what the QOL is currently like at PDT? And what did the recruiters tell you it would be for flow? If they’re still saying five years, know that it’s more like seven to eight in reality for a new hire today.

Do you get paid and build seniority while waiting for training? That starts at Indoc, right? (Thank you for all of your responses.)

So far I have heard good things about PDT. Low reserve time, fairly easy commute from my home, and upgrade time to CA are all positives. The flow to AA is nice, but not one of my primary considerations.

Does the $2200 include the pilot bonus?

Where does the ATP-CTP course slot into that time frame? Is it between Systems and Sim?

Yes, your seniority with the company begins on day one of Indoc. You are paid 75 hours per month at the first year hourly rate while in training, this includes when sitting at home.

No, it doesn't include the bonus. If you're coming in without prior 121 you should get $6200 of the bonus in your first paycheck, before taxes. The ATP-CTP is done sometime before Indoc as you'll need to have passed your ATP written in order to start. Most do the class within the month prior to Indoc.

I obviously missed something during the interview. I was of the understanding the Piedmont would supply the ATP-CTP course sometime before the check ride for the ATP. I think I’d better call the recruiters ASAP! Thanks for your help.

They definitely do. They schedule your ATP CTP, and pay for it. They're just saying that it has to be done before they send you to indoc
