After GFS you will take the oral.

They apparently are doing well keeping students moving and not having long breaks. The instructors appear to be poor, with offline instructors just reading the slides.
The new training area is in the same building as the old training area. It wasn't open the last time I heard, but was getting close and when I saw it last month, it was nearing completion.

Overall, the training is moving much faster than it was last year. And aside from a couple not so great offline instructors, the training department has gotten much better!
Chip, your information is pretty dated. I think it's time you bury your disdain for CommutAir and enjoy all the great things this world has to offer. I hope things are going good at Endeavor.

It's a full 8-9 week training footprint which will probably (realistically) be 10-12 weeks of calendar time to complete.

For everyone going through training soon, I recommend bidding for Phoenix. The sim slots are in the middle of the night, 1130p-330a, but that’s the only bad thing. You’re in a Residence Inn Marriott (studio apartment) in a decent area. The rail line is a short walk if you want to get to downtown on your nights off. If you go to St Louis you are in a dated Holiday Inn in a bad area of town with only a couple of walkable food options. I heard CVG is in between Phoenix and STL for hotel quality and nearby food.
