Were you at the holiday inn? They have us at the double tree. Closer to the hotel and Main Street but further from the mall.

Plus if you have your car you will have more freedom on where you want to eat or if you want to go shopping for food. I’m about to finish training. But I will possibly still be here when you guys get here, if not someone from my class. We can give you guys some info about the area and some study guides for the checkride. I head there was going to be 17 people in your class!

Thanks so much for the info! Any help for the studying would be greatly appreciated as well! Yes I've heard it's going to be a relatively large class due to some of us in the 29th class being bumped into this one. Hoping that the training wait times won't be too bad with this many students. Do you think its realistic to borrow a classmate's car to get groceries and run other errands?

FO pay

Hello,
can anyone provide insight on actual FO pay?
I know first year captain averages about $ 79,000/yr once you factor in overtime, incentives and all that, but what about First Officers?
Thanks,
Pat

They are half way through flight training already. I would expect it to be decently fast as they will most likely have all of us done by the time you guys are through with the 2 week groundschool. They are pushing us through fast now. Going to be a slow down next weekend for the Nantucket daffodil festival. All instructors will be flying.

On the car I have no idea man. There was 2 people with cars in my class. They were nice enough to drive me to go grocery shopping.

I'm trying to decide whether to fly there or make the drive and have my own car for the duration of training. I live in Indiana and the drive would be ~15 hours

Thanks!!

I'll be there as well. It isn't feasible for me to drive, but there are apparently ZipCars near the HQ in the transit village, so that's my plan for errands. Anything else I'll have to walk/shuttle, or bum rides off of classmates like you.

Is commuting an option at all? I would be looking at a fall class bringing in pt 135 experience at around 750ish hrs. My situation does not allow for a relocation and I am Colorado based.

Shouldn’t be an issue. The base in Billings is a easy commute from Denver. I know a few guys who do it.

Just wanted to share for anyone interested. I applied with 330 TT, ASEL, AMEL, Instrument. They emailed me the posted mins of 500 TT and said those are "required". I definitely appreciate the response rather than just crickets. Just wanted to post in case anyone was in a similar boat!
