Alaska is 75 at first year pay per month. $2600/mo take home. When the rates go up, you could anticipate that to be closer to 3,200/mo.

I thought i read that any training over 2 weeks in the month had 85 hours. Maybe I misread or misinterpreted that.

I’m assuming that the JCBA will take over on the VX side by the time you start class. Regardless, things are changing rapidly, be ready for a couple surprises.

I'm guessing that he is implying that DL will buy us someday. That seems to be frequently discussed on the line since the arbitration award.

But why since the arbitration award? Seems like a weird discussion to result from the arbitration award.

Any idea if VX is going to change to AQP or are they sticking with PC’s? Also, any word on new hires receiving hotels during training?
Looking forward to getting started!
