I was in the July class... you have to have your 4 obs rides done by sim 4... contractually, they have to give you 3 days off after training... I had a week off between ground and sims and another 4 day stretch off during sims... I got the minimum 3 days off between the loft and ioe... they tell you not to study before class and you shouldnt... they tell you in a very basic way, "this will be on your oral. You need to know this."... they're not out to fail anyone or make your life difficult... the process can be stressful but it's not overly difficult... our class was 18/18 on passing everything on the first try... it's been a blast here so far... EVERYONE I've flown with has been max relax
