They take the actual holidays off. No guarantee that you won't train right before or right after, however.

Thanks for the reply!

Another question if anyone in class recently knows: Last four digits of my SSN begin with "0" (zero). Would that place me at the top or bottom?

Got it. I knew I had seen something recently on that issue. Thanks for the clarification. I think calling it a "cheesy way around the limit" is putting it nice. Sounds plain ****ty to me.

From what I can tell, they've not shortened the sim times themselves, but reduced the amount of time between sim periods.

The training department is running at capacity new hires are getting e periods. There is tdy training going on (subcontracted sims) etc. instructors are being hired and trained. The machine is running on all cylinders for all the potential new hire airplanes.

Heard a rumor of a bigger than expected RFP with 50 787-9s and some number (35ish) of 330neos or 350-9s. It will all be price dependant. Of course I'll believe it when I see it.
