They offered a September class, but I'd just bought a house literally days before, so I deferred until the Oct 5 class. I didn't know how important that could be for seniority then !!!
Glad to see that the pay and benefits has been brought back up to speed. I have been pointing some young people toward this as a good profession, they are not pilots just level headed people that you can't rattle.

i took the test as well for a backup possible second career, i love flying but id love it more if i could afford to do it on my own in a cub !

still rocking an approach down to mins in the 121 world is very satisfying though, tough choice. after taking that ad-sat i can see how fast and how stressful it gets !

How would be possible to fit in both schedules?

He said that he would always bid the midnight shift. As far as layovers with the airline, he said he could easily switch shifts at atc to make his trips work out. Never got old for him since he loved both jobs...
