New to APC, and I decided to jump in here since my experience may shed light for some of you.
I've been applying to F9 for 1.5 years. Got a phone interview last January (2014), but was in my last semester at college, so was only available in May '14. Never heard back.
Fast forward to last month, and a friend who offered his silver bullet has been trying diligently to help me get on with no luck. I finally went to a job fair a few weeks ago in LAS. Still no interview. Finally, yesterday, I get the TBNT. Bummed and disappointed!
Then, at 3:30pm today I get the interview invite!
Moral of the story is, stick with it long enough and you'll get a crack at it. And go to a job fair. And the TBNT is totally meaningless at this point in time. Don't know how long that will last.
Hope this helps.

I just got off year one pay. I contributed 5% to my 401k, health insurance for myself only, no deductions for kids, had $60 a month taken out for my pretax parking account (I pay for parking where I commute from) and my checks were $954 and $1281 after taxes for the month give or take a few dollars. That was on reserve flying about 30 hours a month. It was brutal, not going to lie.

The bus is my first plane with auto thrust. I think the auto thrust has the largest effect on workload and has seriously eroded my skills. I'll hand fly the plane all day long, but I love me some auto thrust.

Outdated info here, but to give you an idea, looking at the packet presented to me in early 2014:
Employee + Family
• $286.30 / month - Value High Deductible Health Plan
• $416.38 / month - Traditional PPO
• $653.02 / month - Legacy PPO
For family Dental add another $60 or $100 / month for standard or premium.
These premiums went up for 2015, but I'm not sure by how much. I'll find out in the coming weeks as I'll be transitioning over to one of them.

The return on concessions he was referring to (for pilots) are contractual snapbacks. There's no change to year 1 pay ($37.59/hr @ 75 credit guarantee). The other rates all saw around a $2-$4/hr increase. Nothing to go tooting our horns about. Salary/benefits-wise we won't be competitive with our peer groups until a new contract is negotiated. Don't hold you breath for that.
As far as trips we have everything from 1/2/3/4/5 day trips.

See this post - however it may need tweaked a bit further because I'm in second year now making 62.70 as of this April.
