Thanks
Thanks
even though I'm trying to escape training was good. I'm ready for upgrade just polishing up on the GOM stuff. You will be fine. Since you're experienced, help out anyone who is struggling. I went to a few of my buddies Sim sessions with them to watch. If they were struggling I just did the good ole chair fly with them. Good luck. Where you going to be based.

You can expect the following:
Get there (PHX) on a Tues. Wed and Thurs, @ 7-3 for drug testing, welcome and that kind of crap. Expect to get briefs on things you don't even understand about 121 aviation.
Fri and Sat there is a training class to bring people up to speed on jet aviation.
Mon-Sat is Indoc week.
After that, you may have to wait for a systems class to start. Maybe a week or 2.
Systems class is 2.5 weeks.
After that, you should have a procedure trainer for a week.
Then Sims for about 10 days.
A few odds and ends and then IOE for at least 25 hours.
There may be breaks between each of them based on sim availability or instructor availability. This is a big ballpark.
