It was the best 2.5 months of my life recently. A little like a second childhood.

Looking at the list, most of the Nov class is already in.

So about 2-2.5 months. How many sim locations are operational now? Is sounded like charlotte and dfw were and possibly Houston and St. Louis would be soon. Anyone confirm this?

When did the classes start filling up? Trying to figure out how good the wave is and where the backside is. The flow can be stopped at any time and isn't contractual at all correct? AA can just say sorry no more flow and that'll be it right then and there?

Couple of questions -
1: Where does PDT accommodate pilots during training at Charlotte? (Yes, yes, I've read it somewhere here before, but can't spend all night re-reading threads!)
2: Is the pay monthly or fortnightly?

The flow is definitely contractual and runs the length of our 10 year contract. And as with any airline, the sooner you get a seniority number the better off you'll be.
