FWIW, the few FOs that we’re in my class all had well over 3k TT.

My class had 12. About 8 121 CAs, 2 121 FOs, 1 135 CA, and 1 Atlas 74 FO.

Gents, are you on reserve for the 1st year in a row or depending on base you can hold a line after a few monthe and fly some OG trips?
Pretty much everyone is saying the year 1 pay grosses around $41K and that is it, this makes me think you are only on reserve that year and that is why you never break MG?

Thanks,

I’m doing the same thing, got myself ready financially. Are you talking about Spirit Training ? Doesn’t everyone stay at the same Hotel and It must have been a Hilton property for you to get HH points ? How could you have a 14k bill, company paid right?

How long you are on reserve depends where you are based, the movement with upgrades, added pilots/flying to your base, and possibly future bases.

Someone hired two years ago, one year ago, and hired today will have very different experiences for how long they sat reserve.

Plan for 3 months of training pay, and at least one full year after that at minimum guarantee. If you get a line faster, enjoy the extra money.

I was on reserve for one month, then I got a line this month. Next month remains to be seen.

I don't think everyone stays at the same hotel if what he said about the free meals is true. It used to be (and still may be) a Sheraton Suites property which has no free meals, so your training experience (and wallet) will differ greatly from his.

They use a bunch of hotels since there are so many. HH points will not be given automatically. Since what we are on was called a Master Bill, we are not eligible. I got lucky and fought for it before they nipped it in the bud. Yes, Spirit paid that much just for my hotel. It's no wonder why training pay is miniscule.

That's emphatically NOT the reason. Even the regionals foot single occupancy hotel rooms, while paying a little more than Spirit does during training.

Ok understood. The way you first wrote that is not the way it is. Thanks for your info.
