Any more news on IAH opening?

That's been a rumor even when I was working there 8 months ago

Not until after BK/January.

few guys saying they saw a crew room with our name on the door already, not sure how much truth there is to that

The Mesa crew room used to have Republic name on it. Next time I go there I'll check it out

I can't speak for RAH specifically, but each regional has a particular training program that is valued at a certain number of simulator hours, and that can all count toward your TT (up to 100 hours total simulator), and 25 of that can count toward your multi requirement. Just ask the recruiter how many hours you need to start ctp. As an example, xjet was 60 short to start class, 72 hours short to start ctp. I showed up to ctp with 1425 or so with the promise that I'd do a bit of GA flying during one of our several training breaks. In this hiring market they tend to be flexible.

I believe it's 36 hours of sim time in the actual training, don't know about the CTP. I know you can credit time towards the mins.

Recruiter told me I need all 1500. I'll be emailing them back to ask again and confirm.

Messaged my recruiter today full 1500 and 50 multi

We've heard the same and we're in training now. They're having too many issues with people not showing up with the amount of hours in their logbooks as they say they had. So they have to cancel , orals, checkrides, and so on.

Make's sense in their end.
