I was in the FEB 18th class and just passed my oral last week. We were told we are not going to the sim until late April to early May!! They will pay for 3 night at the SIM center, either CLT or STL to observe sim training. I would highly recomend doing that, and getting together with your sim partner durring the hiatus to keep up with your flows and profiles.

Other than that, enjoy the time off, 6 weeks with pay and jumpseat privlages. I could think of worse things.
