Trying to finance my near future with Compass, and I do not recall what the pay is during training. I found a thread from 2008, but I figured that may be a little out of date.

Anyone know what to expect per week/month?

Also I'm curious of the current timeline to the line. I have my CTP course the first week of June, so I'm pretty excited to start!

Thanks.

No pay during CTP. It’s a freebie, and you’re not an employee yet.

During Indoc day, you get a few hours of credit, then CBTs start. I think CBTs are worth 17.5 hours of credit. When you show for class, normal money starts. 75 hours/month with 24/7 per diem since you are technically out of base. Expect ~$3000/month of take-home.

Pay days are the 13th (2nd 1/2 guarantee + any extras) and the 27th (1st 1/2 of guarantee). If training day numero uno is after the 15th, expect the 13th of the following month to be your first pay check. Otherwise, expect the 27th. It’ll take a bit to catch up with everything that is owed.

All told, if your finances are paycheck-to-paycheck, expect a rude awakening. If you’ve built a buffer (very highly recommended for this or ANY new job), the money is perhaps better than expected.

Any corrections and/or clarifications are welcome, homies.

Thanks for the quick response koala!

Pretty much what I figured. And no, not living paycheck to paycheck, I just like to plan things out.

Any idea on if there's a large delay from indoc to class? I don't recall what I was told during my interview. You guys have been super helpful here, so thanks!

Indoc to class is pretty straightforward ~2.5 weeks. Indoc on a Thursday, class starts 2 weeks later on a Monday

How long is training overall for new hires? The typical 6-8 weeks?

Is all training including sim's in Minnesota? CBT's done at home? Trying to piece together what a training calendar/schedule might look like.

When I went through training, we were sent to STL or DFW for FPTs and sims. Now it seems like everyone is doing it all in MSP.

New hire schedule without your ATP is 1 week in DFW for the CTP course and written, 1 day in MSP, 2 weeks home for CBTs, 7ish weeks of training in MSP with some little breaks sprinkled in there somewhere.
