I was hired by CPZ several months ago with a 17 July class date. Been at PSA going through ground school and now on a four week break between training. Haven't flown or had a sim ride yet.
Prior military pilot with no idea how regionals or airlines work, but it seems as if CPZ is the best with the quickest upgrades. PSA doesn't have the best reputation and CPZ hires to a much higher standard. PSA's flight deck procedures are retarded at best. Nothing like I am use to in the military. Are the flows and checklist procedures at CPZ challenge and response, streamlined with little ambiguity? If so then I can't wait.. Paying out of pocket for a hotel during training definitely sucks along with an LAX base, but all in all it appears to be a small price to pay with better long term options and a quick upgrade in a highly desirable typed plane.
I welcome all sarcasm but not preferred..
