Can you be more specific? Are you asking for when you’re transferring to the FO ?

Study the charts, rules and regs etc. you should be good !

Yep, when I’ve hit the magic number and I’ll be transferring to FO training.
I appreciate the help!

It really depends on the hotel. I ask, some say yes, some say no.

It’s mostly NO because you didn’t pay for the room. Very few do, but there’s no harm in asking.

Not to mention it’s likely specifically excluded when they negotiate the nightly rate. The company is paying a super discounted bulk corporate rate and the hotel doesn’t want to give anything else away for free.

Yes in ATL, received the points.

Neat. It’s like maybe 10% of the hotels on the line. Depends on hotel management and the deal they inked with the company. Might get a free night or two a year if you get lucky, definitely won’t get any high tier statuses.

I never see Awi here in ATL I would kill to be able to fly our metal out



Study the approach charts. Know the IFR rules and regs I swear you’ll be fine.

Just got back from it today. They fly you out on standby from the closest airport that services United from your home. So I had a 3 hour drive to Vegas. They scheduled this THE DAY BEFORE, the whole time I was thinking I would fly out of my home airport and it messed up my work schedule. At Vegas I missed the first flight due to over boarding. Then about 10 people before me on standby didn’t show up For the 2nd flight and I got on that, making it to my hotel at about 11 Pm Chicago time. Then up at 6 am, hotel shuttle messed up my travel so i was 20 mins late. About 12 guys. We all introduced ourselves, listened to the air Wisconsin shpeel then had 2 mins to explain any system of the aircraft we currently fly ( surprise ) then took a 50 question test in 15 mins. Then 30 mins for lunch then bam 6 or 7 guys including myself got cut. No feedback. No test score feedback or review. Just bye bye. I can’t have gotten less then 90% on the test so they must’ve been looking for 100%. Hopefully the guys that passed can give their reviews and insight. For as much preparation as i put in and exactness that they required which i felt I heeded, I was disappointed In how they handled sending people home without any feedback. They’re bragging about how they’re all a family and how they treat people with so much respect but that isn’t how any of us that got cut felt. So just some honest feedback from a recent experience with them.

This makes sense, the training department can only train 1in 10 people being hired, I’m surprised they don’t start to hire only those with a cl65 type. There are so many people stuck in training they could furlough the bottom 10% of the seniority list and still not finish initial training on the unfurloughed new hires in the pipeline by the end of the year at the rate they are going. Trust me, this training department sucks and those running it are even worse
