New to the forum. I have a class date of August 29th. Does anyone know the other class dates between now and then? When I corresponded with them they said there's a possibility people would drop out in an earlier class, and they'd call up people to come earlier. I'd like to know so I can keep a lookout on my schedule and try to keep my current boss up to date on possibilites.

Overall it really wasn't a bad week. The better you and your captain get along, the more fun it is.

I haven't totaled my times for the week yet, but 23 seems about right. I got 28 last cycle. And consider this isn't the summer rush yet. Im certainly not complaining with over 50 hours a month. And likely to see more coming soon here.

Just call and ask or shoot them an email. They'll be happy to tell you. Plus itll show interest and they'll likely call you first if something opens up and they know youre interested. Because otherwise they just run down the list and see who'll say yes first.

awesome IP! He even showed me your OE sheet to show me everything we'd be covering. Only got to fly 3 days with him on his overtime pick up but he was great! Hoping next iP is just as awesome.

As a captain on both models, there's always flying to do, and I'm always happy to do it. it's why we're in this business, right?
