It might be different now and somebody can correct me if I’m wrong, but when I went through Airbus training the company did not pay for my hotels for OE out of SFO. When I transitioned to 737, my hotel was paid for through OE in SEA.
OE still wouldn’t be considered training until you are signed off.. so how many nights would one end up being responsible for?

Think you meant to say “would” there?

So on the Airbus I had to pay for 2 hotel nights in SFO (2 OE trips). On the 737, my hotel in SEA was paid for through the end of my scheduled OE. If you needed more time on OE, I don’t know if your hotel would be covered. I’m sure someone smarter than me can answer that.

It’s a relatively new thing since 2017 or 2018. Before that, neither VX nor AS paid for hotels in training.

Default Base/Airframe Assignment

Sorry if this is a repeat, couldn't find it in the search function. When do you find out your Base/Airframe assignment? First day of training?

Indoc. The first few days. I can’t remember the exact day.

We found out after the morning session of the company-wide Indoc you sit through on day one. Basically a welcome to Alaska in a huge room full of every new hire starting that day (pilots, FAs, rampers, etc). They pass around a sheet of paper with openings (oldest goes first) and you write your name on the line.

Question Training Timeline

This is nerdy but can someone layout the training schedule/timeline: Indoc(How long and what does it consist of), Ground School (how long?) Sim phase (how many rides and how long?), etc.?

Word is, there’s no longer just a systems test for the 737. Some clown messed it up and now you’ll be required to take an oral. Best of luck!
