My wife has a cousin down there so was hoping to have her come for a week or so sometime over a weekend and split the time between us while I am in class early on. What time can we expect to be out at the end of the day....weekends off or no? Indoc length? Ground school length? Thanks.
Indoc was @ 10 days, all in the Crystal Palace, typically you knock off early. Only Sundays off, typically. Then CBTs for Systems is about two weeks, which is all self-study over at Boeing. I hear they've done away with the VPT (virtual procedures trainer) and guys in class now have been using the sim with no motion instead. Expect the oral somewhere around week 5. Two weeks of sims, type ride, then a week of cleanup ETOPS/LOFT/etc.
If you're a short-course guy, the whole thing is compressed to a month, you probably still do Indoc and go straight into the sim, maybe?
