Hmmm...Not what I wanted to hear. I plan to fly as much as I can my first year just in case I find myself furloughed in January. How long did it take your buddy to hold CLE?
Another question: I start training 3/27 and it wasn't really clear when I finished with the paperwork but...what do I need to bring with me to Houston for the 2 months of training? Will they be sending me any information before class starts? About the only info I got was to wear khakis and a polo when at the training center.
