3 months lots of breaks. A nice pace in my opinion.

Like weeks off at a time? That’s how it was back then.

5-7 day breaks. Varies depending on whether or not they need to get someone else back into class.

Length of Time on Short Call
 

This may be slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how long you can expect to be on short call in SEA after training? Is it like more like a month or two or is it like a year+?

Thanks

I don’t know for sure, but guys that were in my new hire class about 9 months ago can hold lines in SEA already.

I would say a couple months at most…

I know there’s a wing pinning ceremony now. I understand this is fairly new. Are loved ones (mostly significant others) able to come to this? I know at the other major airlines, they will positive space them to the ceremony. I’m not expecting that with Alaska. But, just knowing if they could come or not.

Does Alaska send out limitations, flows, memory items prior to class?

Negative. More than enough time to study though.

If it’s anything like the one that upgrades get, it’s not like the elaborate ceremony that some other airlines do. They just take a couple of pictures while handing you your wings during the ops building tour.

Few airlines seem to do that any more, I heard it was an issue with SSI and the requirement to pre-screen students with TSA before large airplane training.

For those that are currently in training or recently finished, what hotel are they putting everyone up in?
Also, what has the training footprint been like?

Depends. Could be the element or a couple of others. Day 1 to LOE was about 2.5 months for my class, but waited ~5 weeks for IOE.

how many sim session prior to the MV/LOE?

7 sims then MV. 2 LOFTS prior to LOE
