Sounds about right, but class dates can change to keep the pipeline steady throughout training. May be 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks depending on class size, but overall it seems 2 weeks is the norm.

I say the numbers above for a few reasons. 1 blazer, 1 trench, 1 tie, 1 belt. Simple stuff. I keep a spare belt and zipper tie in the bag, but they are my old tie/belt In the event current ones take a quick death (yes, it happens). For pants, 1 pair is normally fine for a trip stint, but keep 1 spare pair just in case, with another one in the "at the cleaners" rotation. For shirts, keep 1 shirt for the trip, 1 in the bag when you get sweaty (or really any trip more than 3 days either way), 1 at the cleaners, 1 as a spare In the bag.
Moral of the story... You need 1 pair of pants, 1 shirt, 1 tie, 1 belt, 1 version of an overcoat (blazer and/or overcoat), and 1 pair of shoes. Beyond that, it's personal preference. I carry an extra tie, belt, shirt, and pants, with a full day of boxers, undershirt, pair of epaulets, and a pair of socks. Fits easily in the outer pockets on a perty neat bag.
The full allotment suggested is the following:
2 black belts
2 zipper ties (black)
4 pilot shirts
2 pairs of epaulets
1 blazer
1 overcoat
1 sweater (if that's your thing- perfectly fine, ties into 2 sets of epaulets)
3 pairs of black pants
7 boxers/briefs
7 white undershirts
7 pairs of black socks
That's for work... Worst case of a 6 day string, with understanding of a pair of pants and a work shirt at the dry cleaners.
For overnights, add a tshirt, a collared shirt, pair of jeans, 2 workout shirts, 1 pair of workout shorts, and a couple pairs of workout socks.
If you rock a blazer or sweater, add a pullover to the list to use when going out to eat on a overnight.

All of my causal clothes, suits, and business casual attire.
When you are junior and have 6 days of flying or 6 day stint on reserve, you gotta be prepared. It all fits In a stealth 22" and easily in the overhead of a -200 or -900, and chargers also loaded in the side. Add a duffle for the iPad, food (protein bars and nuts), and headphones, you still have room for a big water bottle when you start your trip. That brings up another point. For luggage, a 22" stealth will fit in all the mainline overheads wheels first. A 26" won't. If you commute or are junior with deadheads, baggage space is a concern. The 22" works great, the 26" is huge, but the convenience of a 22" is far better. Pack accordingly.
Just don't buy or wear the hat. Not required. If it ever is required, there will be a contractual gain and it will get negotiated to be provided to you. The hat won't fit in the bag. I have all my hair, not wearing it until I'm paid to wear it. It would mess up my hair!

How long after being hired does one have to wait to book a flight with the discount for a confirmed seat for spouse/domestic partner?
