C'mon man, live a little. Try doing both at the same time.

You should be able to get back to PHX probably withing 6 months or less from your class date . That is all depending on movement and the expansion we are doing out west. I hope we open LAX soon, will help out all of the west coasters stuck on the east coast.
Goodluck on the training!! Our instructors are awesome and top notch! I had a great experience and just have a good time with your partner going through fllows and callouts and it should be cake once you guys work it out together.

I use DC's they work fine, still need to save up so i can afford new headsets but between paying off a student loan and cost of living on a new hire FO salary its tough.
Get the 22" LW works like a charm and it seems to be the standard for all pilots.

That's great news 207. The girlfriend is dreading the day I leave for class, six months to get back to PHX would be wonderful. I thought a year was being optimistic. Even LAX would at least be an easy commute.

Our management was right! Pilots will go to the lowest of the lowest bidders regardless of pay or contract. The regional model will never die...

Is it either/or on the blazer or leather jacket? Or is the blazer mandatory? Is the company picky on the specific style of shirt (usually the pocket is the only differing detail)? I have a few brand new Van Heusen Aviators from a previous job, I'd like to use them if I can, rather than buy new ones.

Another thing... Once you get to the end of systems.. If you have any time off, find out who is going into the sim. If you're quiet and ask nicely, most instructors will let you observe. Bring your profile/flow packet and follow along. It will help you learn how /when they're used, and when you can make callouts in your head before they say them, you know you'll be that much mire ready for your own sim sessions.

You can wear whatever white pilot shirt you want. You're required to have an outer garment; be it a sweater, blazer, leather jacket. They don't care.

A friend told me you bid for three domiciles you'd want in the order you want them. Should I even put Phoenix down, or would it help my chances to get CLT if I made that #1?
