That's good to hear. When I left, the sims were backed up for 3 weeks due to unsats. The FAA in-house guy on the CRJ side was sitting in on just about every PC he could and it was a very nasty environment. Quite a few check-airman resignations due to the pressure they were being put under to fail people. If things are as you say, I may actually consider coming back if things fall apart with this gig I'm in now.

Night and day in the training department. I've had a couple AQP's now and I still have a hard time overcoming the pre-training freak-out that I'd built up over my time here. Just like it has been said, studying and putting work in is required, but the feeling that you're playing Russian roulette with your 121 training record every time you set foot in training is going away.

How will reserve times look in each of the bases once the hiring starts to pick back up? I know commuting to reserve is hell, so just wondering. I have heard it would likely still be a year or more even with the added places and pilots. Thanks.

It is impossible to tell right now. It depends on movement. Vague enough for ya?

Not so much if you work at Envoy. We provide hotel rooms for all commuters any time you need one. Go to any other Regional and you are paying out of pocket for hotel rooms and/or crash pads. That is hell...and gets very, VERY expensive.

It's not an issue at Envoy. Keep all your money as the company provides you hotel rooms. Makes commuting much easier and less painful.

You guys still double occupancy during training or did they finally do away with that?

First week for Indoc it is double occupancy. After it is single.

It's never been double occupancy during training. First week of indoc is. After that you get your own room for the rest of training and for the rest of your career.

Including the aforementioned free hotel rooms when you are a commuter and flying the line.

You alpa cheerleaders doing the company job's. Since when is your job to recruit pilots?

AAG knows exactly what to do if they want to bring pilots to envoy. But heck, as long as they have the Cuj's of envoy doing their jobs, why should they?

Thats the reason they can and will continue to step on ya'lls contract.

Fools.

Good Luck!

Never? When I went through training I was doubled up until sims. So 4 weeks maybe?
