Are there limits to times of day for events, no training from 2-4 AM? Is travel to from training positive space from home or base if you go home on days off? Does the contract require min of 2 day breaks?
How about you events per day or limit on sims or CPT in same? I'm thinking of how much time is there each night to study, or are you in lecture 10 hours a day?
Is there food available in the training center, or do most bring a lunch each day? Yes I'm trying to save money and get through training successfully, any suggestions? I just want to look at the contract to learn this stuff.
Indoc is in PHX for both aircraft. MCO is for door pulls on the EJET. For EJET: STL is starting back up for sim, so you might go there, but the other options are DFW or YYZ, in that order. CRJ has PHX, MSP, YYZ and CPH (don't think they do new hire training in CPH though) for sim. Pretty sure door pulls are done in PHX.
As for contract questions: Max of 6 days in a row for training. Max of 6 hours in the sim a day (but they only ever schedule 4). No more than 2 hours in the sim without a break. Max of 10 hours of ground school (includes FPT) a day. No min days off during training required by the contract.
The only positive space travel you will get during training is from one training location to another. Any other travel is on you.
In PHX there are vending machines in the break room and the burrito truck comes by at lunch time. In both STL and DFW the hotel van can take you to Walmart if eating out is eating into your budget.
