How is the need for additional training addressed?
How much online/self-study training is expected before Training Day 1?
I look forward to your responses!

You will be treated as any other new hire. The training program/timeline does not change.
You will show up on day 1 to receive an iPad and then you will go home to do your CBT courses. You will get a couple of weeks to finish it I believe.

But yeah you get your company iPad and badge on day 1 (orientation). By then you could be at least halfway done with your CBTs if not done. It's 30-40 hours of CBTs.
The following week is reviewing indoc/FOM and systems followed by a written test (Systems Validation) which is also your "oral".

Re: RW transition, I'll ask my CH47 buddy to respond. He seems to be doing ok. He also wrecked the A320 in sim, but nobody is holding it against him.

Another way to get far ahead of the game: if you do NOT have an ATP, they will send you to a CTP (I went to Orlando; some went to Dallas), which will not prepare you at all for the written. Do what we all did: buy the Sheppard Air prep pack. Finish this entirely as soon as you can, and you can work on systems/CBT while at ATP/CTP instead of sweating the ATPw.
The trend here is to get ahead of the game and stay ahead the game.

I apologize if this has already been asked/published somewhere, what's the timeline and location for training. Someone mentioned one day intro onsite than back home to finish CBTs. How long in the classroom, sim etc? Thanks in advance..
