If anyone is at the ATL school house next month, beer is on the Ferd (isn't that what perdiem is for?)

-----------------------

Thank you once again for your participation in the upcoming A330 Initial Qualification Distance Learning Runtime Test.



As a reminder, please see the details below:



· Where: Delta Training Center (ATL), Room 381

· When: 10/11 – 10/13 (Tue-Thu)

· Duration: 3 full days

· Reporting time: 8.00 a.m. on each day

· Preparation: No preparation necessary. Everything will be provided to you during the 3 day event, including computer access, Initial Qualification software (jump drive), information package and feedback forms. Depending on your own personal learning preferences, you may go ahead and study the fleet material beforehand. You will also be given the opportunity to complete the ESV for the A330 if you so desire. This will be a no-jeopardy event. If you are required to complete this training, you will qualify for credit on completion of the full A330 systems distance learning course.

· Travel: Positive space travel is authorized (must be arranged by you)

· Accommodation: As requested, hotel accommodation for the night of October 10, 11 and 12 will be arranges for you by Crew Scheduling. Look for confirmation and details from Crew Scheduling.

· Pay: regular training per diem and 3 hrs 15 min of pay/no credit per day (a total of 9 hrs 45 min) will be provided for you.

· Scheduling: your schedule for the three days will be arranged up by crew scheduling.
They called me to do the 737 to A320 transition. I told them no. They seemed surprised. Eight hours a day for 3 days of my time at the current pay rates. No thanks. I'm just not that into it. I'm pretty close to completing the long program. Honestly, it's hard. The failure rate to the train yourself is going to be really, really high.
