I am a wrinkled poolie and was wondering if you guys that are already there could answer a couple of questions for me.
1. When you are hired is hotel paid for during training?
2. How many weeks does the whole training process in DAL last?
3. Is per diem paid while in training? If so what hourly or daily rate?
4. Do we have to pay union dues probationary year? What percentage of pay?
5. What amount per check could a single person expect insurance to cost?
6. Which two days per month are checks deposited?
7. How much per check does uniform charges cost?
8. Would it be wise for a guy to drive from Chicago to DAL for training? Or is there plenty to due near hotel? I am wondering for a couple of reasons. When training ends...do they expect you to go directly to OAK? Will I have time to get things in order back home or even have enough time to drive my car back to MDW?
9. What could one expect a crash pad/hotel to cost in OAK for the first couple of months? What amount of overnights could I expect? I plan on commuting to Chicago.
10. Is it generally easy, when based at MDW, for a new guy to pick up open time at MDW? Or will it be months before I can expect any pay increase?
Thanks for any feedback,
These questions may seem foolish for some, however. I will be stretching my pennies the first year. I still need to pay the mortgage and was trying to get an idea of take home and the like. Thanks
