Group study is a daily thing. Instructors have been known to open the schoolhouse up on weekends and use the computerized procedure trainer to help with flows. The instructors are at the same hotel and are around a lot also.
heading home each day may be your choice, but it will effect your sim partner too. They like to see the team spirit, working together, and helping each other power study.
You’re getting good advice from all that heading home daily isn’t a good idea.

OK, I am going to backpedal some of my comments. I was thinking daily trips home. My mistake; sorry for that.
24/7 immersion might hit diminishing returns. All work and no play, etc. Go home once in a while. Sometimes, but not necessarily every time, maybe invite the sim partner, or the whole gang, for a meal or a barbeque and talk about stuff other than airplanes. Next day, dive back in refreshed.
Taking a decompression day once in a while, especially at Home (capital "H") might do more good than never taking a break. Morale is important.

Omni Air to Legacy - Possible?
Hello guys. I am just thinking about the career path I would like to take in the future. I am hoping to join Ameriflight. From Ameriflight I could be able to get into Omni (not guaranteed), but my long term goal may be to get into a legacy airline. Going from Ameriflight to Omni, I wouldn't ever have any time at any regionals. I've heard people say though that the legacies usually want to take people from the regionals. So I was wondering how easily Omni pilots (regardless if they have any regional hours) can get into legacy airlines? About how many years could it be good for a pilot to stick with Omni before applying for some legacy lines? For those of you at Omni do you see Omni as your end game or hope to eventually move to another airline?
