What happens if you elect to skip a class to get the Jet?
If hired at the current pay rate, do you get pro rated to the new rate once it passes? Just a few questions... thanks.

Geesh, we start paying during training, buying uniforms for ya'll and your Jepps....now you want per diem? Next, you'll want to get paid during IOE and that volunteer 28 days-following-IOE!

How many lines do they have out there, where in the list do you bid? Do you commute from SEA? I was thinking of trying that...

Right now they need Bro guys and are overstaffed on the jet. There are plenty of Bro guys that will come up on 1 year starting March, and plenty of them will probably bid over to the Jet, lowering the demand for new hire Jet guys. If you have a class date for the Brasilia I would take it unless you live in ORD or MKE. The pay is same for first years and you can bid the jet for second year if that what floats your boat. Hotels for the Brasilia have included the Comfort Suites near the Candlewood and Loftes, Redlion downtown, and Crystal inn downtown.
