Maybe just my paranoia kicking in. I thought "plain" meant, "plain," without racing stripes, promotion for my favorite third world bar, or the tupperware death tube that I flew before getting on board at Delta.

Most folks go home if they get a break. Some hang out. One bought a house. The training dept is trying to reduce these "breaks" and get folks through with less down time.

After indoc you should get a week, or two, "off" but you'll have plenty of systems information to study for your electronic systems validation. Then you launch into Procedures Trainers and start practicing the flows and procedures that you've gotten familiar with on your own time.

Probably you are smarter than me - but most of my "off" time involved a manual, a CD, or a cockpit poster.
