Unfortunately they don't pay for anything. All of it you have to come up with the money for - except the set of wings they give you at the new hire dinner. I fortunately haven't seen a bill for that .

Did you get hired? How did I miss that. Can I dig up the inverted St. Joseph in the back yard?

Unless it's changed- you're on the $3900 training pay until completion of OE (could be a few weeks from sim complete to OE complete). Company provides one set of wings, that's about it from what I remember.

I was just wondering the same. Congrats if so! Long time coming.


And training pay until AFTER OE. I think no per diem as well until then...

Haha! Absolutely get the shovel ! Sorry haven't been on here very much. Fortunately I did get the call. Want to say "thank you" to you and everyone on here that was encouraging and mentioned to "keep my head up" and keep at it.

For those on here tryin to figure out the key to getting the invite, I definitely don't know the magic potion. I had people writing LOR's, went to the big conventions, I added all kinds of stuff to my app (vol, mngmnt, extra circular, etc) and one day looked at my inbox and there it was.

For those with the invite do your best to prepare with everything you can find. I have seen awesome dudes get the job and not get the job. They tell you they want to hire you which I believe is true, but you also have to meet a certain criteria of what that panel is expecting to see from you based on your application.

That is the best advice I can give to those trying to get on this side of the fence. As everyone told me, the invite will come, but for those of you waiting I know your pain (app was in 8+ years).

Best of luck to all.

Thanks man! Super glad to be onboard.

Ah, thanks for the correction to after IOE. I couldn't recall at the moment.

lear700pilot

Correct on this. You buy your uniform (vendors have a package deal). Need to get name plates, hat emblem, and one other wing from a company that you have to send a fax to, or you can get from Abbotts for a higher price, but they make them pretty quick.

Congrats Dude! You certainly deserved it. I'm glad your here, just wish they would have got to you sooner.

lear700pilot

Ha! Thanks man. I'd love to been hear sooner, but can't change that. I believe all things happen for a reason. My time came and I'm thankful for it !
