hoser said:Our course started on 13 Sept, and our first pay was on 30 Sept. The first paycheque was almost exactly $1700 (based on IPC 2 DEO, so $3598/month). The pilots here were getting the same pay as me (well, most of them). Quarters and rations works out to about $450/month, if you get that deducted (i.e. if you're single). After deductions are done, I end up getting about $1000/pay.
As for how much cash you need, a couple hundred bucks should cover you. You'll get an advance upon arriving, if you so desire, before making your first trip to the Canex for the required kit. That'll cover your needs for the necessary stuff for inspections and surviving the first four weeks, and there really isn't much need for more money (unless you enjoy coffee and junk food at the Green Break area).
Thank you very much for the info hoser, and thanks to everyone else who answered too... (it's funny how many people respond to "hey hoser"!)
