I could be wrong, but, I don't think you're "hired" till your first day of INDOC. I don't believe you're considered an "employee" while you are taking CTP class.

Semantics but whatever. I call being offered a job being “hired.” Getting on the seniority list and payroll is another thing, and yes I know I’m not an employee during CTP

Some people with class dates later on are being told they’re cancelled UFN but mine is pushed 3 weeks, tryin to figure out why they didn’t just rescind by now?

But, I feel this is something people would like to know about and I see on Youtube many people are evening doing Vlogs about being a pilot or even a flight attending. I am not good at writing things. English wasn't a good subject for me during schools so, it possible my grammar might be off a times. Just warning you all.

A little about myself. I am 40 years old and have been a particing Orthopedic Physician Assistant for the past 12 years. Prior to that I was an Elementary School Teacher for a few years. However, while I was growing up and even in highschool all I wanted to be was a Pilot. At first I was looking at aviation colleges like University of North Dakota, or Embry Riddle, but my mom talked me out of being a pilot, even though I had already started flight training. Trying to make my mom happy I gave up my dream of being a pilot. Some 20 years later one of my friends at the hospital I work at started flight training. This reminded me that I had hours already so why let them go to waste, so I went to on of my flight schools and signed up for training. I heard all about the pilot shortaage and I new that I still had a good amount of years left so I decided to go the whole way. I became a flight instructor in December of 2018 and I have been one since getting the required hours I need for Republic and ATP. Now I official have them and I will be starting training with Republic in the coming days. As you all know the first step is ATP/CTP.

Today I received the information for my ATP/CTP course. I was lucky enough to get the oppurtinity to do the Republic In-house ATP/CTP course. In the infomration that I received it gave me the dates and times of the first few days of the course. My course will start on February 28, 2020 and end with me taking my written on March 9, 2020 the day before I start INDOC. During this time period Republic will be sending me to either CVG or STL to do ATP/CTP training on one of Flight Safety's sims. I heard that the benefit of this course is twofold, one you get more sim exposure and also instead of flying a A320 or B737 at ATP/CTP I will be using the Embrarer 170 sims. It should be interesting and fun.

At the present time I don't know my travel information. That will come in the next few days. I know this is a start of something the is exciting and something that I wanted to do all my life. Its a long training road ahead but I am ready for this.

If anyone wants to know anything about training as I experience please feel free to ask. I will try to update you as often as I can.
