Since they're doing background checks prior to setting foot on property, I am going to assume we get our badges sometime in ground school?
When are we in the system to ride in the back (not flight deck approved, just 'jumpseat' in the back)?
...I'm patiently awaiting a class date.
GFS (CPT/SSI) = Graphic Flight Sim (Cockpit Procedures Training/Systems integration)
I've been off for 2-3 weeks now waiting to start GFS. I have a "tentative" online schedule that shows me starting next week and completing Sims around 12/2 (but that's been pushed out a few times now so...)
I believe that Pinnacle new hires still do not get travel benefits until you complete your checkride. If there's a gap in training I believe they pos space you home and bring you back.
