I just checked and its now called CNO system and is on deltanet not Icrew. but its blocked and says administration only/scheduling only. scheduling has no clue. Anyone know about this?

I get a text and a call, which I can confirm by texting back. I was telling another pilot about it and he couldn't find it.

The longest wait in our class was 4 weeks from the end of indoc to start of sims. The shortest was 8 days. I went from Indoc to finishing OE in 2 months 1 week.

There is a FA base for MIA and FLL, so parking is "free"...you still have to pay but the CO reimburses you. Not sure if that extends to PBI. The setup in PBI is easier in and out and is just less hassle than FLL or MIA, especially during cruise days. In either case you need to see the station manager to get set up. Just ask one of the agents.

I wouldn't bother with MIA unless you are in a serious jam. From Wellington, that's an easy 90-120 minutes with no traffic to MIA...and there is always traffic. Also, going east-west in PBC is a pain, especially during rush hour. Plan extra time.

By that same token, I-95 traffic is like Death Race 2000, except during rush hour, when it's completely stopped. I've seen it take 2 hours plus to get from PBI to FLL. Recommend the Turnpike from Wellington to FLL as the primary.

Tell them you would like to use the employee parking, they will give you a paper to have signed by the Delta station manager. The cost was about $50 a year and $2 a day in the employee lot. It might have changed but I thought it was reasonable price.

Getting from PBI to ATL was 90% on the jumpseat. The first and last flight of the day from ATL to PBI was almost always a real seat in the back. The afternoon flights required a jumpseat.

Maby you could train the horses to list you for the jumpseat at 12:00

Maybe it's programmed not to call you if there's a possibility it would bust your rest.

Nu: So, FLL parking--do I just park in the normal lot then submit for reimbursement? Or, is there a parking office I need to talk to, such as what BFS described for PBI?

Thanks again...!
