Default Piedmont RTP

Any one have any insight on the RTP? The other WOs are using schools that are backed up, is Piedmonts flowing smoothly? Is there anyone at the Kentucky or NJ School, if so how are things flowing there?

I don't know about Kentucky, but New Jersey is going smoothly. No back ups in training.

Kentucky and NJ schools are fine. Piedmont has shifted folks from the FL school to those other schools when needed.

Thanks for the reply, I imagined that things would be flowing smoothly at the Jersey school and potently the one at Kentucky...I visited sky warrior and it seemed inundated with a huge number of people and the airplanes looked tired...I will do what I must, but my preference would be to get through the piston training as quickly as possible, not sure that SW will be able to keep up.

The new jersey school is very nice with very good equipment. I can personally vouch for the school.

How many hours did you guys get with Infinity, and how long were you there?

I have been very stagnant the last year or so in the Army, and have barely made minimums (deployed aircraft, non-flying jobs, etc). Currently sitting at just over 400 total hours, and headed overseas for a six month all expense paid trip (non-flying) before I separate in April.

Infinity has told me I will get about 270 hours there in 16 weeks. Was this true for any of you who went there with 0 FW time?

Also, what did your interview and timeline look like with Piedmont as a 0 FW timer?

Thanks!

If you want to fly and get it done quickly you will get it done quickly . As long as the weather cooperates you can bang it out. A lout of the time will be solo so it's up to you really.

You can interview for MTP 90 days prior to your end of service (or terminal leave start date if you're willing to do MTP while collecting the last checks from uncle sugar).

If that 90 days falls prior to your return from $hitcani$tan make sure you have your FAA class 1 medical, updated passport and FCC license complete prior to your departure on deployment so they can process your application while you're on the road (Skype type interviews have occurred for folks overseas before).

If you've got questions feel free to PM.

Thanks for the info, are you all flying for Piedmont now after making the transition?

I'm really leaning toward getting in with them, plan to live near Harrisburg and commute (fly or drive) to PHL.

What are your schedules like, anyone also doing National Guard time?
