Comair Training??

[Tony Montana]

I just read an interview gouge on Comair that stated after the first 7 days of training you must pay for your hotel room. I have been researching the company and I have sent them resumes over the past few months waiting for a call. I even had a resume walked in. I am not sure how I will afford to pay for my room through training if I get an interview and get hired. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

During the interview process they tell you that crash pads are plentiful and are under $150 a month.

150 a month for a crash pad is not bad. Does Comair pay anything during training??

no

seven days to find your own place. 250 a week until fully qualified. If you can't afford it go somewhere else, there's plenty of jobs out there.

figure that $250/week for 3 months until you're out of the sim.

we put 7 guys in a 3 bedroom apartment and it worked out great, except for a lack of hot water. it makes it much easier to study, and it will cut you costs a bit. still, you'll be shelling out for lots of stuff: uniforms, suitcase, flight case, etc., before you see a real paycheck...

Comair doesn't pay for a hotel room?????

Dam.n, even ASA pays for a single room while in training. Is this a new development at Comair??

 

[jarhead]

Nope......not a new development. In 1997 is as far back as I am certain of, and then, your lodging costs were on the trainee.

To clarify, CMR will pay for a single occupancy hotel room and per diem for any training done out of domicile. All new hire training is done in domicile at CVG. The fact that CMR provides a room for the first week is reasonable but the $250 a week pay until IOE is embarrassing. Sadly, it is still better than some companies.

Uniforms! Aren't those payroll deducted over the course of about a year?

Name of the game.....payroll deduction for uniforms, anything down in the flightstation, which is the company store........25.00 a month out of your paycheck.....
