5 days Indoc in PHX, followed by 3 days of FMS training. Then it's off to STL for 12 days of systems and CPT. Stay in STL for sim....10 sessions. Then to IAH for IOE. Hotel in PHX is at Sleep Inn or Best Western, single occupancy, company paid for. Stay in STL is at the Pear Tree Inn by the airport. Both hotels do Walmart runs for food and shuttle you to the respective training facilities. Training in STL is top notch, done by FlightSafety instructors. Mesa has it's own APDs so checking is done by the company.
8/7 class have check rides scheduled for the last few days of Sept. We got about a week off after Indoc but I think that was more of a snafu than the normal plan.

Mesa has an ad out now, on JS Firm, for certificated A&P mechanics. The starting rate is advertised at $14.10 per hour. So that might offer some insight as well. Don't baristas at Starbucks make in excess of that in Seattle, with their new $15 Min wage?

Yes, Indoc is not aircraft specific.

I know Indoc isn't aircraft specific....just wondering if they had a condensed version for previous 121 guys. 5 days isn't a lot of time for guys with no 121 time. Talk about drinking from the fire hose.

It's manageable if you don't have prior 121 experience, but the same for everyone. Truthfully, it's the systems you need to study your butt off for. That's the real fire hose. But again, pretty much everyone makes it through ground school. Just don't goof off every night.
