When I started last year it took me 2 months from the day I started to my checkride. I'm not sure how much has changed since then. Ground school had classes that started in the morning and afternoon. I started in the morning and went from like 8am to 4 in the afternoon. Some who went through recent could tell you where you stay. They used to keep people at the holiday inn and radisson but then got apartments so....

There is a lot to study in ground school but you can have a lot of fun if you have a good class.

Take the apartments and bring your car, you wont regret it. Typically the schedule is 8-3ish, but they can go till 5. Study your tail off, keep a humble, good attitude and you'll be fine. See ya around, welcome to the circus.

The Apartment option has been removed for now. The last four classes have been placed at the Holiday Inn on Mineola. Average class right now is 5 new hires and they are running two classes a month. The Launch program has been removed and may be reworked but the new hires I have been speaking too like the new process so far.
Good Luck

No more launch? Interesting. Although I guess most places don't have anything like that really. It was kinda fun being the beginning of training but at the same time it would've been nice to be done sooner without it, made training just that much longer.

I thought launch was a really good idea..helpful to see the automation/glass before you really talk about it.

Congrats boyJesse! Welcome to hell..Took me 2 months and 1 week to the day to finish training. Let us know if you need anything.

You taking CVG or JFK?

I was back when launch was a 4 day thing. It was a blast and a good way to get comfortable with a scan and FCP operation before the checkride. Have fun!!!

Please let this be Comair, but I'm not giving my hopes up...
