Generally backpacks are frowned upon in the airline world, although some do it. I don't know if there's a policy against it.

Don't listen to these crusty ol farts. I carry a janesport backpack all the time in uniform it goes great with my North Face jacket an earbuds.

Did you keep your charts in a trapper keeper?

Does PSA's CTP course provide Sheppard Air (or an equivalent) prep for the Written to incoming students? I saw in another thread that they did, but wanted to verify through some peeps that have recently gone through... I was getting ready to purchase Sheppard Air to get an early jump on the studying, but figured I'd check here before "wasting" $75 of my own cash if something will be provided.

Thanks

if I understand Tallflyers chart above correctly, would the following assumptions be accurate?

1). Likelihood of holding CLT as a new hire FO are pretty high
2). Approximate time for a new hire to upgrade, assuming he/she checks all the boxes (age, 121 time, TT, crj time etc.) would be about 1.5 years if he/she wanted to be based in CLT right away.
3). Approximate time to be able to utilize scheduling function to rebuild your monthly schedule by dropping flights down and build back up would be 1.5 years in CLT for FOs.

Thanks in advance.

Also, for some "light reading" they recommend Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators available from the FAA on the web. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_poli.../00-80T-80.pdf

And I'd like to extend a big thanks to all the people who are taking the time to answer the questions for us newbies, and to all the other newbies who seem to ask my questions before I get a chance to post them. Good info here.
