Seems like we run classes every 3 weeks due to sim/ftd/instructor availability. With the class staring this coming Monday, the following class would be on the 19th of May and then the 9th of June. Seems like as usual, your timeline is right on.

On of the new hires in my class spent over 6 years flying Piaggio's, and only 4 months at Express Jet. So most of their time was in turbo props, but turbo props with glass, and in a company that operates on a long, constantly changing schedule. The Express Jet time was in the ERJ. That tells me that the quality of the time is more important than the hour counts themselves. Just my humble opinion.

Anxiously and hopefully waiting though.

Would you be available to offer some general advice about the test?
I just got the link to take it minutes ago. My preparation has begun....
If so, let me know and I will get in touch. I tried a PM but you don't have enough posts to receive them.
Thanks!
Anyone else who has recently taken exam and can offer insight/advice - I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm preparing all weekend and have a lot of work to do but am extremely excited to have this opportunity.
I won't waste it.....
As stated previously, this thread and the good people at Atlas are a huge asset to those of us who are applying. I thank you all for your contributions here.

Good luck with it. Make sure you have a good internet connection. I just used this thread to get an idea of what to expect on the test and studied the recommended resources. As people have mentioned on here there are ATP style questions, weather stuff, jet streams, NATS, descent calculations, aerodynamics etc… It's pretty much a blur now, but the 60 minutes goes fast.
