Training was long because we had the largest class to that point so when we call finished sims. the IOE guys where swamped. So I got to spend a month waiting for OE and then almost 3 weeks doing it (still at training pay).
Where did everyone go? One didnt make it through training, then one just walked off the plan due to a fight over the legality of a MEL. Some went to SouthWest, JetBlue, UPS, Atlas, and more went back to the origional companies when the where called back.
Of those that stayed, most got offered upgrade and took it. I think maybe 1 or 2 are enjoying being very senior FOs.
Was going there worth it? Well, my unemployment ran out and I didnt want to work at McD's, and no one else had called me in 6 months. Not wanting to live on the street I took it. Though small it was a pay check. It also got me heavy int. time that seperated me from the rest of the "RJ guys" and got me eventualy to where I wanted to go. Thankfuly I didnt die or get violated there and I really enjoyed the time I spent with the crews. I learned a whole lot and dont regret my time there. However I must say this: being gone for over 30 days here and there, and being gone so much destroyed almost all of my relationships that I had... and I will spend years building them back.
