MD88 FO ATL- 6 months of RSV and got used every day. Only days I sat home on reserve were because of the 30 in 168 rule, and even with that, they can just give you a 30+ hour layover and satisfy 30 in 168, but I got lucky a few times and was given the rest in base. Got off probation (400 hours) almost 6 months to the day of starting IOE.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm not sure if I'm remembering this right, but are the 717 people being sent to Miami for SIM? If so, company pays for the hotel down there right?

Thanks! There's so much info, I'm trying to see what to focus on.

In addition to those things, the T-34 guide and FedEx aerodynamics guide were much more helpful to me than Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators. Just my opinion but those two books, Emerald Coast (or any of the other services) and RST on Facebook and their regular site really set me up for success. Good luck!

Thanks. Does the $300 a month for RST give you much more info than the free Facebook page?

Where does one find the FedEx aerodynamics guide?

Yes and they seem to be adding a lot more content by the week.

I used it primarily for the COG trainer but also liked the flash card quizzes. But also remember to not get too sucked into the ATP test. By far it seems that the majority of interview failures are due to the HR interview and some due to the COG.

I figured a one-time fee of $300 was worth it in securing a multi-million dollar career!

A copy should be available on the RSTDelta Facebook group page.

Starting indoc next week. In the event there are options, any thoughts on relative difficulty of commute from MSP to NYC, ATL or DTW? I'll be a two leg commuter through MSP in any event until I can move in a year or two.

Thanks!
