Pay during training (indoc)
Posted by Flytheskies81@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 17 comments
I tried to search and only thing I found was asking how people pay FOR training.
My question is, when you get brought on to a regional and major, what if anything are you paid during the classroom portion of the training? How long do those classes usually last?
thank you!

Something to keep in mind is that after the initial classroom stuff, once you are assigned an airplane if the airline has been hiring quickly you may be waiting a while for your course, and in most cases that's not paid. We had this issue a few years back at my outfit, they were hiring 30 every 3 weeks and some guys were waiting several months between the end of new hire class and actually getting onto their type rating course.

There is no standard answer. You’ll only get good info if you ask for training pay at a specific employer

G4 is FO min guarantee plus daily per diem. DAL is 2.5 hours per day plus 8 hours per diem on days you’re scheduled for something until you finish IOE. So yeah it depends

Regional. ATP was not paid. That took about a week. Training including Indoc and Type rating was paid at min credit FO rate and for me took from mid May to end of June ish

Having the ATP written paid for and all accommodations was so good tho while my company did that

Same here, just didn’t mention that because they specifically mentioned being paid, and well they technically counts as income it’s not going to my bank lol

I can’t speak to how regionals pay nowadays, but I’m sure you heard the stories about how we were paid back in the turboprop days.
At the majors you will be paid the min guarantee of somewhere around 70 hours per month for a few months while working your way through the initial training cycle.

Oh yeah, definitely heard the old pay stories. When I heard them, I never imagined pilots got paid that little.

It depends on the airline and the contract.
Many pay reserve guarantee from day one until you're released to the line. That's usually around 70 hours at year one pay.
Takes about 2 months to get a new pilot spooled up. Can be much longer with delays.

Gotcha. Just wasnt sure if it was like a flat rate or a lower hourly rate or whatever it it.
BagOfMoneyNoChange@reddit
Like I said, it depends.
ThatLooksRight@reddit
A big “it depends.”

Depends on the contract, you are paid something in training but it can be pure garbage. Sometimes it takes until completing IOE to get paid like everyone else.
MehCFI@reddit
50-60 days of initial training, yes it’s paid and paid at normal good rates
