145?
If so, beware of an egomaniac check airmen(probably will do your oral) with the same initials as a popular fast food restaurant(think whopper). He is a piece and gets off if he gets you against the ropes. Sexual frustration, perhaps. Just FYI, I hear he's doing new hire orals in STL for the 145.

I would just like some info on the training.
Thanks

I've read some of your posts and can tell that you are a person who has been around the block a time or two; as have I. Here are my thoughts:

The outstation schedules are not for anyone over 30. An 0500 report on day one followed immediately by a second day with flying that goes until midnight will wreak havoc on your body, your attitude and your life. I hope that you "know what (you're) doing" regarding that.

Also, the people with the highest failure rate in initial training are the more "seasoned" of the bunch. I hope that you know what you are doing there.

Dealing with RJET's shenanigans and handling the frustration of dealing with completely incompetent support departments and their clueless employees is especially difficult amongst those with a little more life experience.

If you can accept that HQ people are far more interesting in keeping their heads down to protect their jobs through inaction rather than risking being noticed by lifting even a finger to help a crew member, then perhaps you do know what you are doing.

I had really had no idea how hostile a company's management could be toward their employees or that willful ignorance and blame projection can be the highest priority corporate goal, I'd submit that until you are on property for a while, you really do not know what you are about to do.

I have been told they are now paying for your room and a $50 prepaid gift card to use for meals ect. when you go for an interview. Are they also doing away with the double occupancy room sharing while in training, and if not how do they decide who sleeps with who ?

Sure, but you could just as easily get displaced to YX. It just depends on the company's staffing needs.

Don't know about the interview, because I'm local. Training is single room for induce and sims. As of today.
