To address the new training format ( which I agree is a huge mistake)...
You will go to Indy for 2 weeks of indoc, either in the Wyndham (free breakfast) or the Super 8 (free breakfast, free dinner, free beer on tap). You will then be sent home for 2 weeks of CBT do-it-yourself systems. Good luck. You will then be sent back to Indy for a 5 day systems crash course, followed by 4 sessions of Graphic Flight Simulators (Think of it as a Flight Training Device. Used for procedures, flows, running qrh items, etc). From there you will then go straight to St Louis to get in the sims. It's unclear whether the oral (for those who are coming in with the flight time) will be done, whether it's in Indy or in St Louis.
In STL, my class stayed at the Holiday Inn Earth City but I believe subsequent classes have been at the Holiday Inn Express closer to the airport.
Eagle, not sure about the new envoy did 1 week indoc then you went home for one week of cbt's, but then came back for a formal systems classroom training.
5 days seem pretty short to prep for the written, oral and to really have a grasp on systems.
Is there any formal training on the FMS, or is that just brushed over in the 4 day graphic flight sim?
I have an interview scheduled with them, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
