+1 on transferring to the AC side if possible. Def. look into the QAT process. Before I left there were posters all over the office regarding the transition over and the requirements. When I first went to string the majority were of course GA guys and they'd been doing much more in the office than I had in my AC office.
Jump forward to year two if I had stayed and they're slammed with much more work and responsibilities than I could have ever imagined. If you can find a position in a CMO and you'd like to be near airplanes and getting more than 10 miles from an airport do that. When I left, I scheduled for 777 class and I would have been heading to Europe and either the Mid-East or Far-East probably twice a month. That wouldve been great except it would be in the jump seat for the most part and still not flying. You'll find that once you hit your first year people will be trying to jump all around the system and find their own niche'.

So, is there a 'private' area where us newbies could ask questions? (Such as - can I really not work extra hours during the pay period to get the day after a holiday off - without taking vacation?)

I start on the GA side this monday. Seems like it will be a interesting first year.

Interesting is one word. I'm three weeks in and ready to hang myself....lol

It's not that bad, but I'm sure ready to get to work 'doing', as opposed to reading. I figure that will happen in another six months or so....

Depends on the office. Had a new guy out with me on a fatal accident on his first day.

Curious how do answer the KSA's if you do not have the 'college' experience for the question?

Thanx,

Hello everyone,

I'll be headed to OKC in a few days to get a FAA checkride in their 737 sim. This is for an air carrier aviation safety inspector position I recently applied for. I've searched all over for gouge, but cant find any gouge on what to expect, other than the generic packet the FAA sent me. Has anyone done the checkride and can share a few tips? It would be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda stressed about it.

Thanks,

Sean
