No. I took 5 and got a cjo in July. I have heard the algorithm that they use to score your app takes points off for that but the exact nature of that program seems to be smoke and mirrors.

I ususally fly 3 5 days a month for about 75-80 hours. Sometimes I'll pick up a 2 day to get a little more. Doing 2 5-days a month plus a 2 day for the same 80 hours would be awesome. I'd probably just complain that there were too many legs and too short of layovers though so maybe not.
ATL 88 A just got a 5 day GS this morning!

CHA-CHING!

How should I handle this? My trip goes 30Nov-3Dec, but if I am awarded training 1Dec-4Dec, what happens?

I can't seem to find much on this. Thanks in advance.
Geez....Just fly to the "cut".......

If you see Juno, land, if not, go land in FAI....

What's so hard about JNU?

I have it on film if you want!

It's more the SOP for the 88 at an outstation. I don't think EWR, DFW, IAH, CLT and BOS allow you to dive and drive that distance. And i don't think MEM is towered anymore. Or even exists.

But for some reason, after years on the 88 and seeing some of it come over to the 717, people think a normal 300'/NM deserves a "you need to get down" call out.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe getting low and losing the airport and calling it in sight anyways and then finally finding the airport and executing an unstabilized approach is the way to do things.
