- there still is a $24,000 training contract
- there is a 12 month equipment lock (no seat lock though)
- per diem is only paid for duty day over 9 hours
- trips up North are mainly day trips
- written test on computer was harder than I thought it would be. Brush up on Jepp plates, holding info (altitudes, speeds, std pattern), radio failure procedures, O2 reqt, etc
- sim is a squirrelly bastard when it comes to pitch. Don't bother with the trim, it just seems to randomly change pitch on you so keep the scan up!
That's all I can remember. Good luck to all!
Hmm, I'm interviewing on Thursday for a DEC position. I certainly hope not all of the captain positions are full!! There's no way I can afford to live on F/O pay!! I more than meet the mins for Captain.
