Just enough suck to feed the subsequent squeeze bang and blow

Squeeze max experience
BANG the Big Bang move to Legacy
Blow by the regional bottom feeders

But plan on splitting your time for 200 between out there and msp. Sims you pretty much go 3-4 days on and a day or two break. After sims I had about 5 days before my first OE trip, as per contract So expect very shorts breaks between the start of ground school and OE. You can also expect to do your OE out of Detroit or msp.

Thanks for the info! What's the difference in training time and reserve time between the 900 and 200?

Well, the 900 guys typically aren't as bright, so training takes about 25% longer.

How's the schedule like for the initial, Sims and IOE? Are there gaps in between training modules? Is everything done in MSP?

Just finished ground. I'm off for two weeks. The 19th I fly to LGA and have a couple jumpseat rides then out to minna for a week and then to Phoenix. My scheduleis set pretty much like the previous poster. Ground was a solid month. First week was indoc, a week of Gen subs, then two weeks of systems. Had weekends off, they would positive space you home for the weekends if you wanted.

Was pretty much the firehose you would imagine it would be

I'm considering the move up there from Southern NH where I would be commuting out of BOS or MHT. I know Boston has a ton of flights but it's 1.5 hours by car or bus from where I live.

I know commuting will suck no matter where it is, but I'm trying to feel out just how much suck I'm willing to endure.

Loads vary from day to day and month to month, so I won't say it's always full. I will say there are more than a handful of guys at JetBlue and Delta making that commute also.

If you can BOS would be much easier. There is something on the order of nearly 50 flights a day between LGA and BOS. JFK has many too and they're almost all 9E operated. For what it's worth, I have a 2-2.5 hour flight time to commute, so driving an hour and a half to Boston isn't the worst commute anyone has.
