During the break, there’s no obligation to study anything. It would be greatly beneficial to spend an hour or two a day to read the SOP and FOM, but you don’t HAVE to. There is a separate block of time later in training when you will go home again, but that’s for systems. You do your training on an iPad. During that time frame, they actually have you blocked off 8-5, 5 days a week for the systems training, so just treat it just like the school house.

10/15 class here. That's what we have been told too. No obligations, allowed to fly for hire up until the day we return for full indoc (for us we fly back to IND on 1/2). Full access to review manuals but do not have access to systems training on ETHOS until they want us doing so.

Time well spent reading the FOM a couple times over and getting good understanding early. When you're done with that, time well spent studying the supplemental study guide over and over. Will give you a great jump start on the thrilling excitement that is ethos. You'll have a huge jump on things. Indoc is indoc...just gotta show up, grin, and bear it, but life comes fast once you get into systems and beyond.

So, How long is indoc and what do they cover? Just the company policies and procedures or do they cover using the fms, profiles, checklists and such?

Indoc is normally 9 days but currently 3 days then home as seen in this thread. Then back for 8 training days with a weekend in it. Company policies and procedures. FMS, profiles, checklists, and such fall under systems, EFPT, sims.

Death by endless PowerPoint decks that move so fast you couldn't read them if you wanted to.

Pay during delay
 

Hey guys, could anybody who is currently on a training delay please do me a solid and tell me for sure if we get paid just the $60 per day for the entire training delay, or if we get paid our minimum?

I know pay was mentioned way at the start of this thread so sorry for laboring it. It’s just crucial for me as I have a mortgage to pay and can’t afford to default on that obviously. Thanks guys.

Monthly garuntee after first 30 days from indoc day 1. So you will get it during the delay/paid vacation :cool:

The first 30 days we are paid a $60 stipend per day. Couple that with $1500 of the first bonus payment and you get close to normal pay. My math says that should be about $3,300 before deductions. I dont know when that is paid.

After the first 30 days you get minimum guarantee. $45 x 75 is $3,375.

The next change in pay would be when you start flying and receiving per diem, then when you complete IOE and get the next $8,500 of bonus.

Per diem is also while you are in training either in IND or STL/CVG.
