HEY! have you guys in the CRJ 900 (jan 14th class) finshed your checkrides yet... i was in the jan 14 class as well but in the Saab ......we all finshed about 2 weeks ago and waiting for IOE now

 

We are the last ones to start sim for the Jan 14th class, hopefully be done with sim on Apr 9th. How was Saab sim?

 

It was great!! the Saab Sim Rock !! all the FO's passed a few street Capt's busted the first time but all passed the second time around..but all in all the traing and the instructors we had were great!! So far i hear there is 4 week wait for IOE in the Saab... im not sure how long you 900 guys have to wait for IOE

 

Nice, congrats! From what I've heard its a 1-2 month wait. Where are you guys going to be based?

 

Well so far all the FO's and most Capts got MEM. And a few Capts are still hoping for DTW cause its a easier commute for them, but well see when the next award comes out. But IOE will be in DTW or MSP cause lack of check airmen in MEM

 

Buddy of mine was in the Dec 28th class for the saab and still hasn't gotten the IOE call. Enjoy your paid vacation!

 

Good luck and best wishes to all the new hires and ones that will be starting IOE. OOOwheeeeee, now the real training begins. FWIW, just take it literally leg by leg. Take your time, be open minded with constructive criticism. Most of all BE SAFE and HAVE FUN! Once you get on line, you will be inundated with junior manning, ALPA stuff, CDO's that dont go right and will be up all night etc.....and it will be daunting and will down right pi** you off. So take this time during IOE to enjoy the hard work you have accomplished from the interview, through ground and sim and your checkride. My buddy Brian does IOE out of DTW and he is an accomplished Saab driver and instructor. For those fortunate to get him during IOE, please show up on time if not early, be prepared, and you will do fine. You are now part of a great pilot group that prides itself in SAFETY and the record they stand behind. And one more thing, please be respectful of all the work groups (FA's, ground support, gate agents, etc...You all work on the same team for the same goal.)

Thanks for the great advice TFLYER70, ill keep that in mind when IOE starts

 

Welcome aboard guys! The riches and lavish lifestyles await you!

 

The Riches??? Dangit, I never got mine.........well I guess there's always the powerball.

As for the lifestyle, learn the system, know the system, work the system (obviously by playing by the rules).




Congratulations guys/girls!
