The last vacancy bid was unable to fill all captain slots. Anyone being hired now will have a very quick upgrade compared to just about anywhere else. Anyone with the required 121 time will go to OE and then right back for upgrade.
Are you going to have a little paid time off? Yes. Four to eight weeks. That's it. The only airline that has a 6-8 month footprint right now is CommutAir. Your numbers are very inaccurate.

Better plan those four to eight weeks well!

For the Feb class- what's the plan for the Super Bowl, when we all roll in Sunday afternoon?

Hey guys, quick question about ground school. Even if they're planning on sending us home, do we still complete systems right after indoc and then we wait to go to QPT? Also is there a study guide out there to help study for systems?
