Wow, talk about making a mountain out of a molehill! Every pilot knows that the transition is in phases. The basic time table has been out for months. If you want to paint a situation where a pilot could be out of touch for several months I am sure its possible. I have found however that virtually anywhere in the world I can get internet access. If not and a pilot has not completed the training the CP's office will look at his schedule and see the long block of time off. They wont drop his trips and will allow him to complete the training when he gets back. We are wasting bandwidth on this one.
