Expect about 3-4 weeks until you are on ioe/ or the line. First week is probably going to be company info, opsecs, FARs,weather. Systems and an oral come next. Expect to only have 2-3 training flights and then check ride. Best advice for anyone going to their first ground school is keep your mouth shut in class. its easy to get wrapped into telling war stories and it not only wastes time but derails the class. Good luck.
