indoc is not difficult. A lot of white haired dudes coming in to give you spiels like this:

”hi everybody, names Chuck Nelson. Navy call sign “Skeeter”. I’m the head of __________ department and I’d like to be one of the first to welcome you to Delta. Been at Delta 48 years. Check airman on the triple. ‘For that sat sideways on the convair. ‘For that flew F-4s over Dang Troc in ‘Nam. Live in Peachtree City with my fifth wife Candi (Delta flight attendant) and our golden doodle Woolman. I’m gonna give you a little talk on what we do over in _________ department.”

That's not true...they didn't have Phantoms at Dang Troc, they flew F-105s. F-4s were over at Bang Ding Ow. :D

13,035 pilots on the latest January seniority list. Includes the 4 Jan class.

If I ever need a quick jolt of good news I love looking at this number getting larger.

Here’s to 2022 suckas!

Well done! That’d be funny if it weren’t so true.

Is there any other trick to learning your actual training date/month other than looking at the monthly conversion report? My "planned" conversion date from the AE results is rarely accurate.
