‘And how long would I have been waiting for that cab at 1 in the morning? The instructors were awesome. Fortunately hotel was close to campus. I had seat fillers for my last CQ. Got out early but still after midnight.

As a side note, every CQ pattern for April had double E periods. April is my early month and I bid to push my training to a later month....no dice. I am glad it’s over now. Got my medical renewed in April too so hopefully smooth sailing until September 1!

Training dept just received a reminder...to remind students of this.

I think it would be an odd instructor who wouldn't drive. Though there are some who commute and may not have wheels

This is what I’m selfishly hoping for. I think it’d be a waste to send me down to Virginia Ave in the middle of summer and then have to bring me back by late fall or winter.

Yup same, would suck to go 220 NYC waiting for ER training. Seems like the most logical thing would be to train out of order since they said the priority was bringing back everyone to the line ASAP. But who knows, tried to ask Bob to get insight but no answer. Maybe couple more weeks for training projection to come out to find out our answer

Alternatively, get a month or two of flying from folks on their first category to help hold the fort down this summer...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but we have a contract that outlines the order they train. You may have to do that nyc 220 unfortunately, even if it doesn’t make sense.

As said above they can just convert and pay protect while they train out of order. What's more expensive double train or training a bus/73N FO a little more while they maximize getting every pilot at home on the line ASAP?

It would be the most logical thing to do imo. Unless I'm missing something? Double training seems unproductive and very costly, unless they truly wait until next Spring, I guess. But will that hurt ER plans come winter/holiday season? Maybe TOE is so backed up doesn't matter they won't get guys out anyways. Therefore if that's the case I totally see myself going to NYC.
