So what does the differences class consist of? How long is it ect.?

is it normal to not hear anything until a couple days before the training date? im a new hire with a class date later on this month and was just curious as to whether there is something i should be looking out for, whether it be email or mailman. as far as i know, im just waiting on a new hire packet which should be coming a few days prior to class.

dont worry it will come via UPS like the day before you leave. Lots of people never got it at all. All thats in there is HR documents that they will have on day one, it just saves you time doing them early. Thats how it was 2 years ago at least.

Differences is one week of ground school M-F. Then 2 sims a MV, a Loft and LOE. So 5 Sims total, probably w/ a couple days off in between there. 2-3 weeks. Its not too bad and the 70/90 captains in all honesty have been some of the best I've flown with. You'll get a couple that are a little strange, but the crews in general are just better in my opinion. And if the gate agents say they don't like some of our captains, thats fine I'm sure most the pilots don't like all the gate agents. I've had mine experience trying to explain to one of them what positive space means.

I just talked to AW a little while ago and he just gave me my hotel info over the phone. Doesn't look like I'm going to be getting my packet before I leave but he said that it's no problem, just going to have to catch up on paperwork on day 1

Juneyah,

Dont worry paper work does not take long what so ever. Just dont forget to bring all the required copies.

Its been 8 days and havent heard back from them (no call no letter).

Good luck

yes i understand but you cant always fix things if you dont know whats broken, sbs has not been dismantled yet the system can be updated an turned back on in a matter of hours so there is a back up. Just give it time its only been a week.

not that im a maestro supporter, but i think that once the kinks get worked out i think that it will be a great system... it just seems that it was launched in a hurry.
