No, hotel gym if you want to get your swole on. If you belong to the YMCA or any other place that allows you to work out at their national chains, you have that option. I went to the YMCA while I was in Indy and STL.

It is FO/FO during your training SIMs and LOFT. You will take turns, so your 4 hour SIM sessions consists with half in the left seat where you are training and half in the right seat where you basically do what the SIM instructor tells you to do. Your checkride will be with an experienced Captain in the left seat who may give you a hint here and there if you get stuck on something.

It’s FO/FO as all Capt candidates are already typed in the airplane. This allows them (Captain candidates) to take a shortened course for upgrade thereby saving the company money. This is why it is done this way...has nothing to do with “fairness” and everything to do with saving money!

Are there any issues with FO/FO training? I’ve heard of some FOs being busted for not performing CA duties properly at other places...
