They told us today payroll donates to the pilot fund on the 1st and 15th of the month. I think $22.18 is the starting pay, but that's per flight hour. Not sure how that translates to ground training hourly pay... Training days seem to be about 8 hours a day (plus an hour lunch break). If you got paid $22.18 for 8 hours a day during training, you'd pull in around $5,300 a month. That seems way too high...
My guess is this: We're guaranteed 76 flight hours a month, and at $22.18 that comes out to about $1700/month, or $850/pay period.
No idea about per diem during training (I just assume not, I'm cynical that way), or about Denmark (but how cool would it be to go there?).

You're a reserve phx base. You earn 75 hours reserve guarentee at $22.18, and it's prorated if you weren't an employee for the whole month. If your sim is anywhere other than phx, you're payed per diem for the duration at $1.29?.

I'm incredibly appreciative of how informative everyone is.
When it comes to per diem, are you only paid that extra during work hours? For every single hour you're elsewhere? How do they work it?
And no, but I'd certainly love to hear more about that as well.

Anyone heard more news on DFW?

Mesa's training pay is $22.18 at min guarantee and single occupancy hotel rooms all throughout training, which is actually really good when compared to some of the other regionals.

So let's say you fly Phoenix to Tulsa for an overnight. You take off at 12:00 noon, land in Tulsa at 2:00 p.m. Then you leave the next day at 2:00 p.m., arriving back in Phoenix at 4:00 p.m.
In this scenario, you're given 24 hours of per diem, or 28 hours?

Per diem = TAFB(time away from base)
