XJT Health Benefits Question
Hey, all! I just got picked up by ExpressJet on 12/6 (I'm ecstatic) and have a question about the health benefits. The pre-interview briefing was in one ear and out the other.
Does the 90 day waiting period to obtain health insurance begin on the day of hire (12/6), the day my class starts (12/18), or when I actually become an honest-to-god airline pilot (sometime in February)?
Thanks, everybody!

Additionally...
Additionally, since I'm a new hire, I'm a little cautious about calling up and asking a ton of questions of the HR dept. Any XJTers out there have any advice regarding this? I have a bunch of phone numbers, and don't know who to call, either.

For you new XJT boobs, on Day 1 you go sit in the big room with all the new employees (good time to scope FAs or rampers, if thats your thing) and get the whole company orientation. You will be force fed info on sexual harassment, company policies, training program, travel benefits, health benefits, etc etc etc. If you're lucky you might even get Jim Ream's song and dance. There is lots of time for Q&A (and there will be a lot of Q's when you get 80 or hundred new employees in there). So just relax, keep your eyes and ears open, take notes and ask questions if you have them. You guys are clamoring for info now but I bet you change your tune when the fire hose is turned on
