What is Delta's maximum monthly new-hire training capacity?

Delta has hired a 100 per month in the past.

Very horse before cart here but what is pay during training and hotel is not provided correct?

Where do new hires usually stay?

Thank you.

New hires get $3700 per month until they finish at the schoolhouse. (~ 2 months)

After that, first year pay on the 717 is $66 per hour. 2nd year is $93.

There haven't been any new hires for a while but I think you get a company paid hotel during indoc which will be about 2 weeks and then you are on your own during simulators which will be about 6 weeks.
There are numerous pilot friendly hotels and crash pads around the school house on Virginia Ave. The hotels run roughly $60 per night I think.
The crash pads are cheaper and I'm sure the situation will spool up to accommodate new hires as the through-put accelerates.
The gouge will be there during indoc.

We used to have the RoachCrest Apartments in Riverdale for many years, but that's long gone.
It wouldn't surprise me to see some other apartment complex set itself up as "new hire central". Specializing in 8 week leases, everything furnished and complete with van service and a breakfast room.

out of curiosity, if you live in say SLC and have to commute which is better of these two - NYC or DTW?

new hires can also be put in E period sims or the graveyard shift stuff. sucks. luckily the 717 is a breeze unless you get the 88 then E period s would just mean you are

Thanks for the great info.... Suppose the Sim for a given airplane is not in ATL
Does the new hire still pay his own lodging?

Thank you!

If sim training is outside of ATL, the hotel will be provided. You are considered ATL based once you complete indoc.

Holler at me when you get a class date, we've got an extra couple rooms. You, junglebus, and boomer are all more than welcome.

Party at Clamp's house. Bring kids, guitars and ACL's trap set.
