We go back to IAH on 08/30 to fill out the paperwork and get the manuals and we'll be told then whether we're in the 11th or the 18th class as well.
I'm really looking forward to starting training.
BTW, did you go through training with a girl called Lee? Friend of mine, I think she finished her training in May as well??
Glad I could help. Don't spend too much time or money on E145 study guides or manuals unless they are from the company. Each operator has different equipment setups and different ways of doing things so be careful looking at generic study guides for the E145. Believe me (and everyone else here for that matter) they will teach you what you they want you to know the way they want you to know it. Probably the best things you can study are swept wing aerodynamics, jet turbine theory and complex aircraft systems (depending on your background). As long as you go in with a solid foundation, you will have no trouble. And start studying those flows the minute you get that binder and poster home. If you can, try and spend at least a couple hours a day with them. Just keep a positive attitude and go in there with the mindset that you have A LOT to learn.
PS Nope, no girl named Lee in my class.
