My buddy held CLE out of training, you should also. I didn't mean to discourge you. My advise, if you live in CLE, make CLE your base, on reserve. You can always call scheduling and get on the will fly list, so you will fly. For upgrade you will want to start thinking about EWR. Also, is you want to hold a line faster, think EWR. But again, as a new hire that lives in Cle. just base yourself there for awhile. For training you should get a big white binder, that has most all your stuff in it. Call the training center and find out whats going on and just ask questions that concern you. As far as getting furloughed in Jan. , anything can happen in this career, but the word is, everything will be fine. I'm not a cool-aid guy, but we will fly those planes for someone else before they went to CAL, or CAL or our management just be using this for paycuts. I would not worry about that, most guys of this regional sec. don't know the details. Just worry about getting through training, not that it is hard, it seems like you have the passion to pay attention
