Good call, completely forgot about that. For some reason they want you to get yourself training on your own dime, except if your drive a certain a distance, but cover everything else after that.

Expect 3 weeks for ground school and two weeks for sim, unless they have gotten tighter on it. I know we now have the new (old KLM) classic sim up and running for ourselves so I would imagine our blocks for sessions are very composed and in our favor versus when we were using the delta sims until 3am. I’m glad to see that we are hiring and making movement, as well as providing a career expansion for many to come. Cheers and welcome aboard to the big O.

Omni does it much different than most 121 airlines. Normally recurrent is every 9 to 12 months at the carriers I’ve been at. Since we don’t fly a lot, the 6 month PT is added to keep us sharp.

Omni is non AQP with regard to training and that’s why it’s a 6 month training cycle.

Saxman hit it as well. Omni is not AQP so you are in the sim every 6 months between a PC and a PT. Both are excellent training courses for if you’re just trying to be up to date with the procedural changes or if you’re aiming towards upgrade. I think our instructors do an excellent job of pushing what we need and those who are looking to do well here in the long run. Like I said, nobody is out here to get anyone but should upgrade come and your time comes, you will be put in the seat and tested as you should. On the other hand, don’t worry about upgrade for a while…there’s quite a wait for that now on the 76 side.
