What to expect at Pinnacle training?
 

I start class Monday, just wanted to know how training is?

You'll be fine. Study limitations, systems, memory items, THEN flows and profiles. Get a group from class together and study at night. Don't kill yourself hitting the books. Take time to relax. I think its 1 week of indoc, 3-4 weeks systems, 2-3 weeks sim, 1-2 weeks OE (line training). Its been a while, the guys that have been through more recently could tell you more. Congrats!

Q drivers. Dave Clarks or Telex?

Sounds like what it was like 5 years ago.

Get as much time in the GFS machine as possible before you hit the sim. Those things are really helpful

deleted...........................

1 week indoc, 1 week general operating subjects, 2 weeks systems, 1 week GFS, and the sims. Study limitations, and immediate action items first.

I think your class is getting LR as the instructor. She's pretty good. Be ready for a ton of info in a short timeframe. Study your butt off, but have fun!!

Telex, it is more quiet up front than the ERJ so clamps would be overkill.

What's the best site to find out what flights are available for commuting or just traveling in general?

Kayak, and Orbitz seem to work well.

If things haven't changed much, be ready to hear "That's a Captain question" and "You'll learn that on the line. You don't have to worry about it yet." as the 2 top answers to a lot of questions. I've heard good things about LR as an instructor, so we're at least moving in the right direction. When I showed up to ground school it took them over an hour just to figure out who was going to be teaching our class. This was 5 years ago, though.
