I think we bid for what we could hold on the 320 so we will keep it.

5 days of systems, 4 or so procedures trainers, & I think it was 5 or 6 sims. It's been over a year since I've done it so I am probably wrong. Basically it was Monday through Friday, and I started October 15th and was on the line November 22nd. So including OE(a 26 hour 5 day) it was a little over a month long.

I imagine it's close to the same now, but I'm not sure. I'm getting the short requal which is only 6 days!

It does. But I'm in the bottom 1% of EVERYTHING, & it's the airplane I want so it's no biggie.

I know. What gives? I've been here over two years already and am still a reserve F/O. I was a jet captain at a regional in about a year and a half. I'm ready for Airbus captain already. (joke) This seniority stuff takes a lot of time to get at the majors. Can we speed up the process?

the basics are 5 days of classrooms/with some fixed based systems instruction. SV on day 5. week two is procedures training followed by a PV, week three simulators culminating with the MV, week four it all L-prep to finish off with the LOE/spots.

Clear as mud? PM if you need anymore specific advice.
