First is regarding the schedule. I've read from previous posts that a typ schedule is a show time around 5 am, fly until maybe 8 am, hang out until about 2 pm and done around 5 pm. Does that sound right for the sea b1900s? Other scheduling I should expect out of training? Of course Im flexible but I'm trying to give the wife a realistic picture of what to expect.
Speaking of training I read indoc is Dallas (was it 2 weeks?) then training location depends on aircraft. Where should i expect for the b1900?
Lastly I've been flying IFR and doing a bunch of sim time prepping but I see the sim evaluation isn't until training. Does anyone (freight dog) see an issue with trying to start training in jan if the interview process goes well?
Thanks
That's pretty close for a west coast schedule. Though I think the PM side might be 1-2 hours later than that. You'll be closer to finishing around 7PM than 5.
Your training estimate is pretty spot on. 2 weeks in Dallas for Indoc/MEICE then 3-4 weeks aircraft specific training.For a 1900 captain the training will be in LGA.
Since I'm not in the hiring pipeline, I can't speak to possible class dates, other than I know there won't be new hire training in December.
