there is a class of 7 check airman in progress right now for the 200 and they just had another opening for cr2 and cr9 check airman close in August and are interviewing for a November class.
Drug their feet yes but their doing something about it. Unfortunately none of these new hire check airman will be able to help in the short term cause the training process for them takes a while.

Around 35ish was last I heard a few months ago from a LCA, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. But if accurate, then yes, we are below average...which isn't necessarily a good thing. Might mean we have a solid training program. Might mean we're signing off guys too early and making new reserve captains deal with ill-prepared new hires. I'd like to think the former over the latter but some of these new guys have me questioning that lol.

So, the answer to my initial question is 10 weeks on the 200 what if i dont want the 200? I want the 900. Yes i get what i get but what are the chances i’ll get the 900 in NYC out of training and if i do get the 900 how long is training on the 900. My concern is paying my bills not a 10 Week vacation meaning if i fly i get more money meaning i can pay my bills. Min guarantee is not enough. Anyone with an answer? Thanks

Keep in mind although the 200 has a 10 week vacation the 900 has about 1 year of reserve with very little flying out of NYC.

You bid for equipment and base during indoc. Most classes have been about 75% CR9. Chances are if the last 4 of your social is 5000+ you will be able to get whichever aircraft you want.
