You wanna keep going? Or you good?
My current regional is c5 and it is not a limitation so it is not in his packet. Multiple people have told you it is not a limitation at their airline and you are the only one that is stuck on it being a limitation. You can call me whatever you want, but you are the only one that is wrong. Glad you are a professional that calls other people names when you are wrong.

Default Back to the new hire class...

Guys,

Can anyone provide a picture of the training footprint? I was told in Cleveland that class in IAD would be 5 weeks long. I’m sure that is both Indoc and systems.

Do we get any breaks? Time off between indoc/systems/sit?
How long is the sim training? Only info I could get was it is 13 sims. Not sure how long that takes.

All information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Awacs

Indoc is a week. Systems is 2.5 weeks and systems integration is 1 week. You get weekends off. Depending on sim availability you will go straight into your sim schedule or have a little time off...no more than a week or so. Sims take about 3 weeks. It was 60 days exactly for me from day one to checkride. Then you wait for IOE which can be almost right away or a few weeks off.

I was hired in mid-November and just finished IOE. Call it four months start to finish.

But of course I had several delays:
  1. 4-5 days off each for Thanksgiving and Xmas (N/A for someone starting now)
  2. 7 days between systems/oral and sims (mostly due to availability in CVG where I wanted to go). Several in my class got HOU and had little to no delay.
  3. 3 weeks delay to start of observation and IOE related to the gubmint shutdown and shortage of LCAs (since largely remedied)
  4. Another week between my second and third (final) IOE trip because my first IOE instructor got the call from FedEx and they had to juggle the sched.
FYI, normal IOE is typically two trips totaling around 35 hours. Due to multiple cancellations I was not able to log anywhere near 35 hours or (more importantly) get an acceptable number of landings so I had to do a third trip.

I would expect recent hires to go nearly straight through with probably a 12 week footprint.

Very helpful really appreciate it!

I have an interview scheduled a few weeks from now and am very excited. Currently flying 135.

How soon can I get a class date if I get a CJO?

Also, what books should I have at my side for Skype? I’m going to order “Turbine Pilot Flight Manual” and “Everything Explained for the PP”. Of course I’ll review Jepp plates closely.

Anything else? I’ve glanced at the AI gouge, but want to be as prepared as possible!

Thanks guys

Class dates are available as soon as three weeks out. You’ll have to travel to Cleveland for onboarding at least 7 business days to class for PRIA and background to clear.

Be ready to talk systems, brief jepp plates, and talk HR in the interview. Systems on the current airplane you fly.

I’m driving as well. It’ll help having a couple cars in the class for grocery runs and stuff. See you Monday.
