8-5 in the classroom, although you often get done early. CBTs for Systems is on your own schedule, although they block out a time for you. We had to go to Boeing to do it, which was awesome the weekend the air conditioning failed. Most of us plowed through it, staying late to get it over with. At some point in there, you'll have VPTs (Virtual Procedures Trainer) as well, also at Boeing. After the Oral, the workload gets a lot easier. Sims are 4 hours in the box, with 2-hour briefs. They run any time, night or day, with frequent body-clock swaps - again, a realistic simulation of what you'll see on the line.

Can't go longer than 17days, unless you allow it during monthly bids (month to month). If LAX is your base, you will have to position to LAX on your last off day, and finish up in LAX on your last work day, effectively taking 2 off days for positioning.

Looks like calls are going out for the next round. I was lucky enough to receive one today! Just got the link for the online assesment and was told that there will be interviews in Miami in about two and a half weeks. Have read the entire thread a couple of times over the past year and it has been highly informative. That said, any additional tips from folks who have been through the process recently are greatly appreciated. Cheers to all, and hope to see some of you at the grill soon.

Did you ever get any indication that Atlas received your resume/PAQ?
