Well, I'm on the waitlist for the July 10 orientation, so heads up - if you're expecting July 10 and haven't received the call yet it is likely to be August 14.
Orientation in Philadelphia, they will fly you in on the 9th, hotel paid for the night, fly you out in the afternoon on the 10th.
Filled out the background check paperwork on May 5th, so figure the process took just shy of two months.

But seriously having to educate them on 1099s, DBAs, EINs, etc... send in pay stubs and W2s because they won't call previous employers to verify ... a real pain. Who have you all been contacting at AirWis about Sterling? I feel like I should give them a ring about my experience as well.

I need to give notice at work ASAP but I would prefer to wait until the background check is complete if possible. If this thing is going to take a month I might as well just give the notice and hope for the best.

Did AW let you know when everything was done?

I ended up just speaking with Lorena and going directly through her. She's awesome (AirWis employee who liaises with Sterl). I wish I could give you her direct extension but I was transferred over and neglected to ask. If you have issues, she's the person to chat with.

Hey everyone,
Do the travel benefits extend to any immediate family like a spouse or just the trainee? Also, are they looking for a certain amount of flight time per month? I have a full-time non-aviation job and instruct at night and on weekends. I'm also having a child in October so might take October of from flying. Good luck to all that apply.

I know you said you have 530 hours, and you're just starting the program. I go to one of AWAC's affiliate schools, and by December I'll have my commercial multi, and about 230 TT. On their website, one of the eligibility requirements is written as "Must have 500 hours unless from a partner school or university." As near as I can tell, that means I would be eligible by the end of the year. Do you know how frequently they hire new people for the program? I would love to join the program around January!
