Assuming I can start working May 1 -
How long is the training gonna be ?
How long is the reserve ?
Realistically how much time should I give myself to reach the 1000 hrs 121 time for an upgrade ? I presently have 4000 total time.
Can a commute from DFW work ? Are the lines commutable.
Once again thanks for the info.
Ground is 3 weeks. Expect 6 weeks off before sim training. Sims can be 2-3 weeks. it's a 12 sesh footprint.
We do not have reserve lines. When a ca upgrades they add a line to Philly. (Stings a lot of people who went else where for a quick upgrade) fo lines guessing they are the same? Most I flew at Pdt in a year was 979. Pre 117. Think 70 hours is pretty good guess for a month of flying. More if you pickup flying. I don't commute so I'm not sure how painful it is.
