Honest question, how are you a CRJ FO and not know this kind of stuff?

I'm just starting class and want to educate myself as much as possible on the details.

Everyone offers single occupancy hotels. Except the regionals that aren't desperate (compass?)

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?).

$5300 a month for a new hire at Mesa? I see you really did your "homework"!

Per diem
Newhires are usually labeled as PHX based...
Ie. if you are anywhere but PHX you get per diem. This is pretty common to all regionals.

Envoy provides double-occupancy during indoc, then single occupancy for cockpit procedures training through sim. 75 hrs of pay during training and 16 hrs of per diem each day while in training (days off included) until IOE. This is regardless of training location (most likely DFW for the whole thing).

Mesa Training
I am potentially starting training with Mesa in Sept. Can anyone give me details as to how the training is, what hotel we stay at, and how long training goes for?

Training at Mesa is top notch. The instructors want you to succeed, know what material is important and are there to help you.
Last I heard new hires were still staying at the sleep inn in single occupancy rooms.
This is for CRJ training in PHX.
I'm not sure about how Mesa is doing EJET training but I imagine since it's done by the same company, (flight safety STL) it has to be similar to my experience at RAH.
Training for that was about the same (two months) time frame. I wouldn't rave about the flight safety instructors too much, seemed like they were just in a hurry to cover the material and get home. You pretty much were expected to look up and figure out any questions you had on your own.
Again that was three years ago so things may have changed but definitely was very impressed by mesa's own instructors in how they teached the CRJ vs flight safety's instructors for the EJET.
Maybe Skillett can give a better run down of today's EJET training....

Thanks for the info! I've been told that I'll be going through CRJ training. I have no 121 experience and was told they wanted those folks for the 175. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.
