Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything, it’d be coming out of my nose now

We were specifically told to go drinking when I was a new hire. We did, and so did the HR girls who did the interviews back then. Just don't go sinking pontoon boats.

Heck our Indoc teacher came out with us on more than one occasion when I went through.

So what about the rest of the training footprint? The last info I see posted seems to be from around April. Are there still long waits between systems and sims?

I would guess start of Indic to finish ioe in the 4-6 month range. But that’s just a guess

3.5 months from start of indoc to finishing IOE. Included a 5 week break between systems and sims. I came in with an ATP so no CTP required, no additional sims (8 + checkride + loft), 3 IOE trips. Your experience may vary as this is a moving target.

Thanks! Training schedules seem to always be a moving target - just like upgrade times

Be an adult, pay attention, and have some fun while you’re there.

The massive store was Woodman's. Who were your instructors in Appleton?
