Never heard of that program. Sounds too good to be true....

It got mentioned earlier in this thread by one person that it happened "to some guy in my class". You'll find out really quickly in the airline industry how reliable those types of stories are.

It wasn't straight from the horses mouth so who knows if he missed some details or was making some assumptions. He never responded to questions, so I assume he wasn't really sure himself.

So I am going to say no, they will not pay for your time while in training delay. So until some type of official program is announced, plan accordingly.

How long were they in Indy till they were sent home? One day?

They being pretty transparent with y’all? Have you heard anything about them paying for your last needed hours and it not coming from your bonus like the last class?

We’ve had a Q/A session the CEO and VP of training, and Flight Ops. They are being upfront for sure about the delay but no one has asked about flying hours coming from the bonus.
We are here through today leaving tonight and tomorrow. Class is being split coming back end of Oct/ beginning of Nov. the delay is due to sims not being available. We were told hiring for the next few months will be more selective to eliminate the bubble.
We have a seniority number and pay has started, with extra time to study now so can’t complain.

A guy in my ATP/CTP class had a previous engagement planned right after CTP, so he didn't go right into our INDOC class but went into the next one that started 2 weeks later. Ended up making him $5000 because as soon as we started indoc they announced starting with the next new hire class bonuses were going up $5000. Lucky bastered.

Moral of the story, anything is negotiable. You'll have to ask them, but they have made accommodations in the past. Now that they have more then enough applicants, they may not be as willing. But it never hurts to ask.
