Yes but, if I remember correctly, it wasn't automatic. You might have to request the travel via a COBUS travel form. They'll explain how to do that at indoc.

So assuming there was no training delay this would be the breakdown?

1. 2 weeks indoc and procedures
2. 2 weeks self study
3. 1 week systems review
4. 2 weeks sim
5. 2 weeks OE

Make it 3 weeks sim (1 week in Indy, 2 weeks probably in St. Louis), and throw in a week at home before IOE, and you’ll have it, at least according to what my training materials say. In reality, there may be some more wait time before sims.

How does per diem work during training? Do we get this 24 hours a day while were in IND? Is this something payroll automatically takes care of or do we need to report it?

Thanks

Pretty sure it's automatic, but I would double-check. Maybe someone who's completed training can chime in.
