If you come off the street like that you’re competing with experienced airline and corporate guys, many of whom have been captains.
Yea, I'm going to stick with the Gateway program, If everything goes well, I'll be flying with you guys 4 years from now.

Not at all. He got the email last night with a class date in 2 weeks. Flew for AmeriFlight (Single Pilot Cargo) for a year and a half, then Endeavor for a few trips now he's here. Sharp kid, but this is the new normal so keep your head on a swivel, especially lower experienced guys in the left seat.....

That's almost my footprint too. 1850TT, flew single pilot cargo in twins for a year, regional for a few months, and see you soon.

Any idea if the company would accommodate an extra night at the lodge for new hire class? I’m making the ten hour drive Monday which is a day prior to orientation.

I emailed them this evening but won’t hear back until morning. Trying to start looking for hotels asap if I need to.

Of course. should be a phone number for BBT in your packet too. They’re really good about that. If by chance they don’t there are plenty of reasonable hotels off semoran. Don’t sweat it.

Good deal. I appreciate the heads up! Does it take a day or so after the onboarding forms are complete to get access to the crewmember bluebook?
