Training is all in house and you are paid while you are there.

 

Do they put you up in a hotel room or are you on your own?

 

What is the length of training? I heard it was 3 months but this is old information.

 

No idea and length of training wasn't a clear answer, but it sounded like 4-6 weeks.

 

I called to remind him about the email he didnt send me. I also asked him what the training length is; and he said 2 weeks. Thats fast if its true.

Any idea if new hires can go into the Saab?

 

Maybe but not likely. This is going to be the worst training ever if we get on.

 

Its 6 - 7 weeks. Side note, no one has been interviewed/made it through the process yet, everyone has walked out or no showed.

 

right seat in a 1900 with two weeks training...........wow, must be fun with those 1500hr capts

 

I'm asking for them to not take the $300 out of the paycheck if they oblige I'll take it. They are being completely unreasonable too they call you and want an interview with less than a weeks notice and then want you to start training in the next week.

 

It's actually going to be some some the best "old style" training left around. Perhaps he misunderstood the question or you heard the answer wrong, but the training is NOT two weeks. It is closer to 8 weeks from Indoc to Getting off OE. Prepare for 2 weeks of Indoc, fom/far's. Then 2 weeks of systems, after which had you the tools you'd be able to build a 1900 blindfolded. Next will be a week-10 days of cbt's and cpt's, which is taught with poster board cutouts on plywood and in a non motion SIMM. Sometime during this phase you will do your oral, which is about 2 hours for an FO and 3-4 for a Capt. This is all done in house at FLL. From there you'll go to flight safety at MCO for full motion Simms, I think 9 sessions + 85% checkride. 85% of the checkride is done in the SIMM. You complete the other 15% of the checkride, approaches and single engine work in the airplane at night in the pattern at MCO. You'll be in a decent motel close to flt safety for the time in MCO, 2-3 weeks depending on the training calendar. From there back to FLL for OE, which will take another week.

How to prepare: memorize ALL limitations and memory items prior to day 1. Also memorize from the far's : VERBATIM definition of an accident, incident, NTSB reporting criteria, Captains duties and FO's duties as written in the far's.
