So there’s training done in FLL and DFW? What is the footprint timeline for a new hire? What is the training pay? Is per diem paid before IOE? When dies the defined benefit plan for retirement start? Where can you expect to be based initially? How long before you can get ORD reserve? Lineholder? Thanks for the info.

search function will answer all these questions as they have been asked before and nothing has changed

Yes, FLL mainly with some overflow to DFW
6-8 Weeks
$1000 salary per month plus $750 per month non tax per diem (both paid until after completion of OE)
Defined benefit starts after 60 days of employment
Initial award of ACY. DTW, ORD, FLL within 2-3 months. DFW, LAS 3-4 months.

FAA just said no to all the training in the right seat until AQP. All new hire training will still be in the left for now.

DFW sims are not overflow for new hires or upgrades. It's planned months in advance, we need all the sim slots to handle 60 new hires and 24 upgrades a month.

Thanks for the info...so just to be clear, one can expect $1750/mo for the first 2-3 months?

Nope.... 90-day wait.

The insurance itself is actually pretty darn good with low premiums.

What about hotels for training?
Single rooms I assume.

Yes, single rooms.
