Maybe that has changed now, but what type of equipment goes with what base? If given the chance, I would prefer the ERJ, but is that a DFW plane? Thanks for the heads up in advance.
I just finished training. It started to go into 8wks at the end with the LOFT. I thought it was a tad longer then it needed to be. Apparently the training center thinks so too. They told us they were in the process of rewriting the program to shorten it. It was a week and a half day of indoc. 3wks and 2 and half days of systems. 2 days of CSI(Cockpit systems interegration) 2 full wks of sim. In all the check ride was fine. No problems. You get weekends off. BOS LGA ERJ ORD CRJ ERJ DFW Saab ERJ CRJ LAX Saab ERJ MIA SJU ATR Good luck.
