Yes, ASA pays you guarentee, 75 hours per month, plus per diem, 8 hrs a day, and they pay for your hotel. The hotel is the Red Roof right scross the street from Flight Safety, where all your training be held. Just beware of the rats and roaches! No kidding. I've been here 3+ years and that place gets scarier every time we had to stay there. Pay days are on the 15th and last day of each month. On the last day of the month, you'll get a paycheck for half your guarentee, 37.5 hrs, at $19.02/hr. On the 15th, you'll get the other half of guarentee plus all the per diem for the previous month. You'll have to submit a credit sheet by the 2nd of the month to get paid your per diem while in training. For some reason, they don't have that part of the pay process integrated into the payroll system. There are a few restaurants around the hotel. I've always had a minifridge and microwave in my rooms there. Also, ask for a room that has the big desk. That'll help tremendously for the 2 months you're going to be living in that room. Good luck with the call back....see you out on the line!

 

Thanks for all the info. I was so impressed when I interviewed with ASA. Everyone wanted to give tips and were very friendly. Yea those beds at the Red Roof are something else. It has been just over two weeks so I hope i get the good news in the mail tomorrow or Tuesday. Got to love the waiting game.

 

I interviewed on Oct. 12 and recieved a letter placing me in the pool. Does anyone (IFlyFL410) know what the plans for class dates are? Right now I am commuting from ATL to LGA for my current job and I just want to be at ASA ASAP so I can quit this communting crap. Any info at all would be great!

 

No, I have no idea when class dates are. Did you happen to work for ALG before the merger? I was a SYR FO a few years ago myself.

 

No, I was hired in June. When did you leave PDT?

 

I worked for Allegheny from April '01 - September '02.

 

okay, cool. so you left before the merger... why did you leave for ASA? Are you from ATL?

 

I left ALG because of all the USAir issues etc. I was origionally in DFW here at ASA. I have no use for ATL and only live here to avoid the commute.

 

So what are your thoughts about classes? Do they usually put off classes for the holiday season? Or is there a chance they'll have a dec class?

 

I wish I could help ya out, but it could be either one of your guesses. I have no clue.
