So it would be a great job if it were a different job? Am I reading you right?

The amount is based on the aircraft they are qualified in. For metros it is $4000 per period.

Wouldn't that be 4 month periods, not 3. So, more or less, $1000 a month for metro drivers (paid every 4 months).

Yes. And I wrote "3 four month periods." I guess I should have written "three 4 month periods"? Probably more grammatically correct.

And it is essentially $1000 per month, but it isn't paid that way. It is paid for the entire period. There is no pro-rated amount. You have to be qualified and employed for the entire period to get the payment.
