Unlike PSA, we don’t have procedure training after systems and before sims, just an evaluation. The squeeze comes during the 1st half-dozen sims where you’ll go from having never touched the aircraft to having run all of the big emergencies in the book, all without enough time to build an adequate foundation in normal stuff like running checklists and shooting an ILS.

As far as the abnormals go, you’ll see a lot of Bagg Smoke initiated Rejected Takeoffs, V1 cuts, and V1 engine fires that progress to engine failures before you reach 1000’. Good luck and welcome to Piedmont!

I got 2-3 weeks off in-between each phase of training (I start sims in about a week)

Hi there! About to interview with Piedmont. Not that I really mind, to be honest, but more out of curiosity: I was wondering if there currently were any training delays in the FO initial qualification (like between modules for instance)? Could anyone who's currently in training or finished initial training recently let me know?

No more than 2-3 weeks at most in between the phases. The footprint is running around 3 months from indoc to finishing sims, not sure yet about any wait time for OE.

I was wondering what the best(mandatory read) study material is for ERJ145 which Piedmont operates? I have seen some flash cards online for limitations and I think there might be some for the memory items. I was wondering if there is a small book that most pilots use for systems study etc which is recommended? Also if there is a google drive to access pdfs etc?
