Hi to all,
I got the CJO and I'm having a virtual welcome/orientation next month
Can someone provide info about how long is the initial pilot training?
Is ground school and Sims also @ DEN ?
Just wondering for how long I'm gonna need a crashpad / Airbnb or hotel.
really appreciate any info.
Thank you

Congrats and welcome. From start to last sim it’s roughly 8 weeks. Everything is in DEN with the possibility of MIA sims for a handful. Usually goes senior in your class because you get a hotel and per diem.

Congrats! Were you a Pre-Covid applicant? Or did you interview just recently?

Great, I thought it was longer.
It would be great if I can get the sims in MIA since I'm from MIA.
answering the other question..
No precovid
I applied a few months ago, I believe in February.
Thanks for the info

Are headsets required for sim training?

No

For the most part we don't wear them in the sim. But during your actual checkride I think you will. There are sets in the sim.

on the line about half of people have their own. I recommend it

Just remember to replace the ship headset and iron/starch the checklist before you exit the cockpit for the day.

Light or heavy starch?

Anyone care to explain how the golden eagle recommendation works?. So far I love the name

Just need to know someone at F9 that you are close enough to and is willing to recommend you. Supposedly a guaranteed interview, but no guarantee how quick that’ll be. Should be a good program for everyone.
