They are usually 3 star to some 4 start hotels.. most are nice.. comfortable.. we have a few dogs out there but we work as a pilot group to get us out of them to something better.

Yes.. make sit5e it's not a disruption.. it's a formal policy because they don't want someone living with you abs two if they hurt themselves the company can deny liability.. don't be Charlie Sheen!

I've decided it's time to return to 121 and stay.

I did my reading and put in an application at Piedmont. (Airlineapps)

I'm sitting right around ~3000 TT, 1100 Part 121, 2000 turbine, of which 850 or so are PIC... ATP, 3 types, 141 training... etc.

Wondering what my next step toward hiring is.

I understand there's a written test, any prep advice is appreciated.

I'd love to show up at one of the job fairs, but my current schedule makes that difficult.

Any advice is welcome.

Get the Sheppard Air Interview Prep and you will be fine. I just had my interview yesterday and have no prior experience with 121 or an ATP and did fine. Its all basic atp/instrument stuff. Good luck. Feel free to pm me.

Anyone have any guidance on the pre-Indoc computer tests? I seem to remember there were 3 tests, or only 2? Ops and Winter Weather? Open book/laptop of course.
