Make sure that you guys go to www.mypilotcareer.com and www.aviationinterviews.com and get the gouge and know it well before you go to the interview. Also, be yourself. Thats my advice.

When I interviewed there they told us to expect to make 23 to 24k in the first year... I guess I'll find though

Of course everything changes. today they just posted 16 more upgrades. I think this will go to the middle of Feb. Maybe by the end of January they will post some more. This should bring the upgrade time down to just under 3 years. 2.5 years to 3 i believe is very reasonable for upgrade.
As for the pay...Figure $23/hr for 72hrs a month. You will be on reserve and this is the minimum. When i sat reserve 1.5 years i rarely flew over 72hrs. Most of the time i was around 70. Although one month i only flew 3 hrs. Anyway figure $19872 for the first year pay plus per diem. More then great. But i like to go to the bank on worst case.

Just stick with the memory items for now. It's too late for you to get down anything else now. When you get here, 4a of the POH. CA originating. Start memorizing that ASAP. Don't wait till after Indoc.

Should have posted more and PMed me.

I'll give you the heads up when you get here. Training has been a lot of fun so far.

If you don't do this you will pretty much be screwed
