It seems you are a E145 pilot at PDT, I'm a new hire on the 12/05 class coming from the CRJ 700 at another regional. Could you please give an insight on their training culture? Level of difficulty? They want you to build the airplane on systems or they are practical? Good attitude and effort means they will work with you if you need extra time? Extra sim time have you seen it in training with one of your colleagues from class? I know training is training and if you study you will make it anyways, I'm just trying to have a glimpse on their training culture....any insight would be much appreciated......thank you.....

It seems like every time I ask this question I get a different answer, even from the recruiters! Does anybody know what exactly is the sign on bonus and payment schedule for a 145 type rated, current 121 pilot (300 sic) is? Secondly, what is the FO retention bonus and what is the payment schedule? Thanks!

Second $10k (for everyone) gets paid out at the end of SOE (line ready).
FO retention bonus is $2500 paid out quarterly, max of $20k total (2 years to max, assuming you don't upgrade in that time).

Anyone here from the Nov 7th class that wants to share their training experience in the past 3 weeks on the jet?
Tests, washout rate, instructors, hotel, were u able to go home a couple of weekends? How much "wait at home time" were you given between ground and sims?
Im on the Dec 5th class and would like to have an idea on what to expect and all the good details!
