You can pick your sim partner to a certain extent. In my class we had a couple transitions from the Saab and 5 upgrades. The instructors don't want company employees paired together if possible. That way new hires get someone a little more experienced to work with. The best option would be to pair up with a captain upgrade for 2 reasons. 1) you don't have to switch seats after 2hrs to perform PF and PNF duties. 2) The upgrades' seniority number will be higher therefore you can choose a more suitable sim time. Sim schedules is also based on seniority.
There will probably not be as many upgrades as there are new hires since classes are relitavely full with around 35 every 2 weeks.
10 sim sessions minimum. 1 - FTD intro, play day if you will, 2 - 2engine ILS, 2 - 2engine nonprecision, 2 - 1engine ILS and nonprecision, 1- specialty day (windshear, gpws, cfit, etc), 1 - phase check, 1 - check ride.
If remedial is needed, your checkride is pushed back a day or whatever.

Venezuela accounts for 12% of US's oil imports. Cutting off Venezuelan oil would likely result in a significant jump in fuel prices and I don't know if most people wants to pay even more for a gallon of gasoline.....no matter how red, white and blue they are.

Since China's human rights record is every bit as questionable (probably even more) as Venezuela's, there is no difference between supporting Venezuela and supporting China by buying their products. Of course, hardly anyone pays lip service to China because our prices are so low.

So AE new hires, shop at Valero to your heart's content.....I say.

If you’re young make sure to pick an older sim partner so you don’t have to wake up at 2 am. All the slots are seniority based, so better yet go with a captain upgrade

Thanks for the info! I am younger, 28, so I will be looking for a senior guy for sure.

double post... sorry

I think at 28 you might one of he older ones.

I'm a lil 21 year older so i'll be getting up at 0130...

Just pack some heat or travel in relatively large groups (e.g. more than just yourself) if you decide to venture in the area away from the training hotel premises or if you're walking to the Cracker Barrel... some people have been mugged usually during the less than optimal lighting times.
