Doesn't this one day of classroom in effect equal at least 2 extra days off because they would have to drop a trip to get you to and from FLL and have the required time off before and after training?
As long as we are still required to attend class for 1 day, I feel like we are going to get a training conflict out of this. Assuming you are not FLL based.
Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
For now, but keep in mind, all you are coming in for is to open the doors / build the raft. Don't think they won't send Bruce to your base to do an over night open the door session on a RON aircraft (while they do a weekly of course), then build the raft / finish everything else in a rented broom closet at the airport. I don't know if you HAVE to open the door in the armed position, but I'm sure they could figure something out.
