How long is the training footprint once you get started? What are the training time lines for basic indoc, ground school, sim, IOE? If someone could share that would be great?
Are there required number of days off after each phase?

Figure roughly 2 months for indoc (9 days) and aircraft training (5 weeks, give or take). Typically, it's 2 days off a week but that can vary.



The break between indoc and sim training will depend on the fleet and availability.



Ditto for the break between aircraft training and IOE.



Sorry to be so vague, but the specifics REALLY vary.

There are parts of our contract that are very, very weak and poorly negotiated.

This is not one of them, our new hires starting pay in training is as good or better than anybody’s.

Thanks to the people who made it happen.

Now let’s talk reserve rules, LTD, sick time, and vacation and training pay.
