8-5 in the classroom, although you often get done early. CBTs for Systems is on your own schedule, although they block out a time for you. We had to go to Boeing to do it, which was awesome the weekend the air conditioning failed. Most of us plowed through it, staying late to get it over with. At some point in there, you'll have VPTs (Virtual Procedures Trainer) as well, also at Boeing. After the Oral, the workload gets a lot easier. Sims are 4 hours in the box, with 2-hour briefs. They run any time, night or day, with frequent body-clock swaps - again, a realistic simulation of what you'll see on the line.
