    I think Stevens has them beat for length of training...

    Stevens training program:

    School - 3 weeks
    OR 1 Trainer - 5 weeks
    OR 2 testing and classes - 4 days
    OR 2 Team - 3 weeks
    Grad Class - 2 days
    Grad fleet - 90 days...

    All told about 6 months.

    Pay is $350 wk until Grad fleet, then 26 cpm... after grad fleet 28 for 90 days, then 29 for 90 more, then to 30 after one year.
