I'm starting local training as soon as the OR weather cooperates alot more..I have been to the local field 3 times this week, and vis, and wind have really been terrible for June in OR, feels more like November. DLC flys here locally to SLE, and besides the wife having a local to commute from, I have the advantage of re-familiarizing myself with the radio communications with my scanner, listening to your fellow crew members. I have decided to get my PPL here, build time up and figure out my finances. As a VET, Oregon VA has a nice little spot of $$ they will give me, and I'm awaiting a response form ATP on forms ect. My wife (Really Supportive) and I have been re-searching any available $$, besides loans for the training.
I'm wondering if you could give examples for pay based on the following:
Assuming SKYW:
1. Training PAy??
2. 1ST Year FO CRJ, and so on..based with guaranteed mins..
3. Expectations to make lets say 50K +.
This would calm my Nagging LIL "WHat- IF's".
I guess lastly any rumors on hiring freeze, aquisitions, airport closures, ect. I see they tried to get Express Jet, with a tender offer.
Well Sir, I hope flying is treating you well, and your getting some family time, Your experiences and information are invaluable to me and many others,,FLy Well talk to ya soon...Since I'm rambling on and on...Been a long week at the day job!!
