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.

Nope.... 90-day wait.

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