New Hire Pilot Celebration Dinner
Looking for feedback from recent New Hires on the "Celebration Dinner" during Indoc and whether you thought it was worth it for your spouse to fly all the way to ATL for. For the military crowd, how does it compare to a Dining Out/Fighter Ball/Hail & Bail? Much to my surprise, I received a call for the 16 Jun class last week, which puts the Dinner right in the middle of our planned pack out from military base housing. Wondering whether it's really the sort of event that would rate reshuffling schedules and flying the wife all the way across the country & back for. Thanks

This probably depends also on if she wants to come, or cares to come. Some people just may not care, others may think this is the most important thing in the world. I don't have a spouse, but I'd definitely want someone important in my life there. I'm hoping they'll let me take my mother.

The problem I face is ditching the kids on someone so we can both go, especially since they'll only pos space the wife. I suppose I could fly them all out and get a sitter. How easy do you guys think it will be to get them in the system and then non-rev them by the end of week 1? I have the wife and 3 kids, (5,3, new born). Worth it or no?

It is a nice dinner. RA showed up for ours. One guy even cried.

When was this? They let several in my class bring girlfriends & fiancees, and I heard there have been parents. As of 2 months ago.
