Curious questions...
If you need extra Sims... How much hours extra are you provided? Where do people request extra sim hours the most? I assume for MV? What happens after Loft? Is it one ride in a real plane with a line check airman doing a visual approach, then you're all on your own? Extra sim time is solely at the discretion of training management. It varies where extra training is needed, typically right before the MV or LOE. People don’t “request” extra hours. Again, that’s at the discretion of training management based on what the instructor’s opinion is. They will give extra time, but they will also cap it off at a certain point. The LOFT comes after the MV. If successfully completed, you get signed off to take your LOE (the ATP/Type is issued after the LOE). Somewhere in training you’ll do UPRT (upset prevention and recovery training). Sometimes it’s before the LOE, sometimes after. After all that, you go to IOE. |

Does the company send you information on flows before training starts? I was curious if anyone else got that in an email. I didn’t see it anywhere. My guess is they don’t, but I thought I saw that mentioned somewhere on here.

This is all good info. I am coming as an E3 pilot (FO) due to no time in US part 121 but have flown 30 years for a foreign airline. I won’t be taking anything for granted and no doubt there is a lot to learn in the US industry. I am very much looking forward to learning but would like to know from other E3 pilots if PSA provided any assistance in relocation costs. Eg, do they provide a ticket say on AA from Australia to Dayton to begin class? I’m thinking of just coming with the maximum 32kg of luggage and just buy whatever I need there. The upheaval of moving from one country to another is rather frightening though! Can’t wait to start. My class is mid July.

You get 2 x 32kg bags check in for the international flight plus the connecting flights to Dayton. The problem is, you get 1 x 23kg bag on any domestic flight to Sydney if you don't live there. Qantas are charging $100 for that extra bag, Virgin are more reasonable in that you can buy extra kgs, dunno what REX are charging.

Thanks to the previous two posters. I am in sydney so that works for me. Did they provide hotel accommodation upon your arrival in Dayton because obviously we cannot land the day before class. My plan would be to arrive one week before class so am wondering if they provide a room?
