Hi guys,

I’m about to get a training date for my CTP-ATP (week 0) and then kickoff with the actual training (week 1). Couple of questions:

1. How conflictive is spending 2 weeks studying the shepard only to get ground school and sim training before the test which can get on the way of my written preparation?
I read this twice and still not sure what you are asking. I do suggest chilling a bit though

2. Where can I get specifics abut the course asap? I have no glass nor turbine experience so I gotta lot to cover. I recently started reading The Turbines Pilot’s Flight Manual. Though a great book I’d like more specific stuff about the E145 which would most likely be the assigned A/C.
Don't worry about it. You will have CBTs and systems class. Once you have access to the docs, read aom1 and 2. Don't worry about any of it now. Flip through the turbine pilot manual though, it's a good book

3. Could you guys please go over the non-training stuff, like the hotel, laundry, eating options, is breakfast included, gym facilites (if any), possible training locations, etc. Pretty much anything I can get familiarized with before arriving for boot camp so I can focus on the more technical stuff right away.
Search the Envoy forum by "pink slip", show posts. One of the results from mid last year has a very detailed write up there. Your most likely atp/cpt hotel has breakfast and basic groceries right next to it. Indoc hotel does not have free breakfast, hotel shuttle can take you to a nearby walmart
Thanks in advance.

So basically that leaves me with having to go thru the all the questions again during week 0 on top of the ground and sim sessions right?

You will have plenty of time in the process to flip through Sheppard.
Normally you'd take your written on Monday after week 0.
If your week 0 and 1 are back to back, you will take your written after week 1. Week 1 does have an exam at the end, but it isn't exactly rocket surgery.

But seriously - chill.
