I worked for Alteon part time until January 1, 2003. The pay was $45/hour. Eight hours pay for a sim session so that worked out to $360/sim session. The full time guys were around $7000/month.
The last I heard was this (one year ago):

You're right about the pay as it is below industry standards and they realize this is a problem. I hear that they will raise it to around 475 a day for domestic and 600 for intl locations. The full time number is 90K with all the Boeing bennies.
Not sure if that happened or not.
CAE is paying closer to $600 or $650/day for international locations.
My brother worked a contract that paid close to $17,000/month on the B777. That was a rare gem in the sim contract business. He still owes me the commission for getting him that job
Alteon/Boeing was really ramping up for the B787 launch so they hired a bunch of guys and put them through training on the B777. I'm pretty sure they're all sitting around twiddling their thumbs right now. Things should pick up in 2010 when the airplane finally comes out.
