I believe Jan class began on the 9th. Dec class was the 5th. First 4 guys from that class of 24 are beginning sims tomorrow. So about a 2 month delay once done class. That should get better once clt sim is up and running.

I'm a 12/5 hire. Higher up on our class seniority list with prior 121. Just got called for sims this week. Enjoy the time off, especially those that can travel!

How much time is there between the call to return and the day you're expected back?

I'm referencing the training break. How long between the call to return and the day you're expected back?

Also, the information you gave raises another question. Does PDT not publish your whole sched for the month? What you said sounds like they do not.

That I can't answer, we were the last class to go through ground from start to finish all the way through and then we were on break prior to sims. Sim schedules are weekly and they warn you that they are subject to change due to people calling in sick or a sim breaking or any other reason imaginable.

Are you coming to Houston for sim?

I thought sims were in DFW or starting up in CLT in next few months. Would be great for me since I live in Houston.

Sims are located in at least 3 different cities right now until the erj sim is installed in CLT.

So awesome reading how fast PDT is growing. I know there's tons of growing pains but to realize 4 years ago they couldn't get anyone to go there shows a very welcome change.
You know the flow is working when I had to DH on a flight and the Captain and FO were piedmont flows.
