I’m completely prepared to spend the next 90 days in Phoenix if needed but am just curious.
I can’t comment on sim delay but you will be expected to pass the ATP exam before you return from CPT training.

Indoc then CTP then systems then FPT likely with no break. Then sims and I doubt a break there either.

Sounds right. I hear the Ejet break between FPT and Sims is down to 10 weeks.

So if you already have a CTP then you basically get about an 8 to 10 day break is what you are saying if I understand correctly.

My CTP was scheduled for 10 days but got it in about 8.

You say CTP is scheduled for after indoc but before Ssstems class. I had to do CTP before I started indoc at my last carrier.

No break if you already have your CTP. You just join an earlier systems class.

What happens during the 10 weeks you get off? Are you still provided a wage and a hotel room?

Wage yes, not sure if they are keeping people in hotels for breaks right now.

I do not think they are paying for hotel rooms. Everyone is checking out and going home. Or, they are going on a vacation using their United benefits.

Still need to study each week. Need to know flows and callouts cold when you get to sim.

Is it possible to do Erj 175 observation flights during that period?

Sure.

After Systems, you can do observation flights until you are blue in the face once you have your crew badge. Just try to avoid picking up bad habits from us line pilots.

If you wear a uniform, the FO can take you on the walk around. That will help with your prep for the oral and generate some enthusiasm.

Besides prepping for the oral, focus on flows and callouts. Get back with your sim partner as soon as you have a sim date and practice these together, preferably in front of a paper tiger. Learn where the buttons are, to the point of like knowing where the controls are in your car.

V1 cuts, engine failure during go around, and hand flown single engine approaches normally kick new hires’ butts, so make sure you have these cold in front of a paper tiger before SIM1 it you can. Show up early to the sim training center and learn what you can from those ahead of you in the SIMs.
