IFTA pay

Just out of general curiosity.....anyone know what's the top pay at IFTA and number of years to get there? Something I should have asked during interview.

I heard, long ago, that top of scale is something like $50K-$60K. Don't know how many years it takes to get there.

Probably not as good as you'll make at Boeing or even at a good commuter, but it's much more than many others earn and is still not too shabby.

I had an interview with IFTA back in Nov. 03. The interview consisted of 1) about a 25 question written test on FOI, general FAR/AIM stuff 2) a group panel interview on technical stuff and H.R. stuff 3) then if you pass that part, you get to teach a maneuver on the ground to a check airman, and then teach that maneuver in the air in the Bonanza. They will also have you intercept a course to a VOR and a bearing to an NDB, and then fly an ILS approach back to Bakersfield. That's the interview pretty much. I got a call about 3 days after I interviewed. I was offered the position but did not take it because of the 2 year contract. I would have had to stay until Dec. 2005. There is no written contract, the 2 year contract is just a gentleman's contract. So if you leave early, basically you're burning bridges. As far as the facilities, top notch...as far as Bakersfield the city itself is the armpit of Cali. Hope this helps.
