Spot is still open. Heckuva deal. My math says this would put the three of us at about $52 per person/day.

Starting to get a little disheartening for the "June" class guys. Been almost two weeks since the "we'll get back to you" email. I know the offer still stands, just wish I knew what to plan around...

This has been my big issue since I started applying everywhere. Even planesense gives you a october class date haha, but you can have a life.
I just need a specific date, even if it's in 3 months

How long is too long to wait, even though they told us to standby? I don't mind waiting, but I certainly can't wait forever

You take care of yourself and keep Applying everywhere. Until you pass a 135 checkride, you have nothing guaranteed

Anyone else not receive the email regarding ground school courses? Jessica said she sent them out to us in an email today but I did not receive it.

I didn't get one either. I actually emailed her today asking for additional info as well


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many of us didn't, we've been talking about it the last 2 pages :)

Dang you brave :) share if you get any details

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Nothing yet. I tried to drop a hint saying I needed to make some living plans and needed any additional information she had for us. Just need something, anything at this rate

Absolutely. I'm leasing my apartment on a monthly basis now, ********** limbo

If you're talking about the Litmos stuff, same here. I emailed her back about it but she didn't respond. I have all day to kill tomorrow so I really wish I could use it to start knocking out any of the CBTs.

I was trying to figure out why the director of training hasn't been getting in touch with your guys about this stuff, as he was really on top of things during my newhire class. Turns out he's had to take a leave of absence due to some health issues =/

Sounds like it all got dumped on Jessica and Charlene, and they were busy as it is. I hate to tell you all to try to stay patient, but I think that's all of the advice I can give at this point.

I hope he gets ok. I'm logging my patience, no problem :)

Thanks for the update! That might explain why there's been a little less communication desired.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one. Hopefully she will respond tomorrow.

Litmos email received early this a.m. Looks like a lot to cover.

Lots of clicking and staring at a wall while the videos go, but it's not too bad.

Litmos only works on Firefox for me. No luck with Chrome, Safari, or IE. Just a heads up if anyone is having issues loading the pages.

The third spot filled today. See y'all up there.

You guys enjoy the training and get nites for us haha. Good luck!

Got a hold of Jessica on the phone yesterday and asked if she had anything for the April hires and they did not. She said she will ask the chief pilot on Monday once she's back in. Here's to hoping that once they get the May class going that we can get some kind of info. Can't wait around much longer

Thanks for taking the initiative man. They should be able to give an estimate date jeez , even if it's september but that way you can do your thing and organize

How was your first day guys?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Crickets... lol. Must not have good internet access up there, or everyone is extremely busy. Best of luck to everyone with a class date. Any info you can relay to us would be extremely helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

They must be 100% focused on the training, well done! :)

Ladies and gents, a new week is upon us, and with the previous ground school now in the books, there is hope, that the rest of the April hires might get a class date now. Here's to this week! [emoji106]

You might be forgetting the fact that after ground school comes sim and flight training, then OE (for direct entry pilots), and then assessing how many will make the grade and sacking the ones who aren't going to cut it. All that takes time, and all that determines when the next batch of candidates will be needed. Depending on the number of pilots in the last ground school, the composition (SICs vs PICs), the open slots, and the availability of instructors and check airmen, you could be looking at two to four months before they are in a position to set a date for another ground school.

That's probably not what you want to hear, but maybe having a better feel for what has to happen and the complexity of the process will make it easier to endure the wait.

Fine by me. Just trying to remain optimistic..I have nothing but time!

Sim and flight training for this class go from today and extend through mid-June, but other than that, no idea when the next classes will start.

Just some general notes: My take from class was that they're extremely focused on safety and following the rules. No cowboy pilots, no "adventures" more wild than a surprise overnight in a village due to Mx. Everyone in the class was fairly laid back, and seemed sharp. About 1/3 of the pilots in there live in Alaska. Total time ranged from 250-2000, with most of them in the 400-600 range. I've heard they're upgrading Caravan SIC's to the 207 around 750 hours or so. Also, the 207 is VFR only, which I did not know going into this.

Im pretty excited to be there, hopefully you guys receive news for more classes soon.

Next ground school is in mid July or early august. Just received an email.

Got the email too. Is there any commitment or promissory note that they haven't told us about?

same here! short update email, how difficult was that :D

thanks for all the info guys, good luck with the sims/flight portion!.

A couple more questions for the guys and gals who just went through training now that the rest of us have an idea of when we are coming up.

Baggage - do they provide an allowance for it or should I try to purchase it on my own to save a few bucks.

Uniforms - should I purchase my own or bring money and get fitted with them?

and still looking for my answer on a commitment/contract/promissory note too!

For baggage, you'll want 2-3 totes that you can check in when jumpseating, a black carry on, and maybe a small backpack. Totes will hold food, clothes, etc. for your two week shift. I am personally not buying anything like that until I get closer to being on the line. The first few times you head up there will just be training.

They provide jackets/hats/etc, but there is no real set required uniform right now. You may buy pilot shirts/epaulets from them if you want to jumpseat in that outfit, or just wear a nice shirt, pants, dress shoes, and tie. I bought the pilot shirt because it will help get through screening. Not sure how much it cost, but they have a closet full of them that you can try on to make sure you have the right size.

No commitment required. The goal of having SICs in a Caravan is to train us up to be captains of the 207 ($290/day) and then the 208 ($330/day), which normally will take about a year or less from SIC Caravan to PIC Caravan, assuming you fly well and others recommend you. Obviously they understand some people are here to get 1500 and dip out, but your seniority transfers over to Corvus if you'd like to go fly 121 and get paid pretty damn well. As SIC in a Caravan, were being paid more for our first year than most FO's at Horizon, which is pretty crazy.

I originally wanted to go to Horizon or Skywest once I have my 1500, but I am going into this with a very open mind to staying longer if its the right fit for me because so far I am pretty impressed with everything.

Hope this helps!
