If you fly past your RSV guarantee (Non OT) then at that point you will credit more than RSV guarantee. Pretty much impossible as a RSV Pilot.

A lot of emphasis in training is placed of flows and call outs. These are likely slightly different from your last company, so you’ll need to spend some effort overwriting your mental hard drive to get the new stuff in and keep the old stuff out. Its not hard, but it takes more effort than you’d think.

What are likely bases right out of training?
What is the likely AC?
I’m considering Envoy and trying to figure out exactly what I’ll be getting into.
