Initial training
Just a couple of questions and observations from my arrival here to start training. First, we were informed that our ground school, initially scheduled for 5 weeks, had been extended due to the class size. From what I can tell, there are only 10 folks in class. Is this considered a large class? Also, when I checked into the Hampton, the kind gents at the desk told me they have my reservation from 6/9 until 6/20. Does CommutAir operate more than one ground school location? Just hoping for some insight from anyone recently through. Thanks.

We are scheduled until 7/18 or so. The class that is here ahead of us is much larger. We only ended up with 9/10.

On the upside, captains are enjoying 200% regularly.
