Quote: If you don't mind me asking, when did you interview? I interviewed in December, just waiting for a class date now. I know they are very backed up, but I'm expecting probably a summer class date.


I was a December interview. I was updated by my recruiter today to expect a Q4 class date, but those dates haven’t been released yet. They expect some attrition, but couldn’t guarantee anything in Q3. Hopefully that helps.

Can anyone give a brief detail of a recent training schedule? I know it’s 2 weeks in Indianapolis and then 2 weeks home, but after that I’m unsure. Does it stick pretty well to the information given at the interview? Thanks

It’s not even worth 2 months, in my opinion. Unless you live in any of our outstations or NY I’d go to almost any other regional. Way better quality of life in the long run.

I believe it was October. I was surprised at the May start date, but it worked out for personal reasons.

It just switched to AQP so I'm not sure how they're running it now. I was in a standard class when I went through.

2 weeks of Indoc, 2 weeks of Ethos (iPad systems study program) at home, a week back in Indy for Systems review in the classroom followed by the Systems Validation test (I have that tomorrow).

Then, schedules start to vary wildly as they have limited Enhanced Flat Panel Trainers (EFPTs) and sims. Some people in my class stay in Indy and start their EFPTs on Monday. Some don't start until the 3rd week of March. And everywhere in between. I have about 3 weeks off, and then bounce back and forth between Indy and St. Louis for sims and EFPT sessions, with a couple of 5 day breaks at home in between. Checkride is mid April.

From the time I came back for Indoc, it will be almost 3 months for me. For some others, it will be just a shade more than 2. Just depends on the luck of the draw within your class.

This is for a new hire going through Initial under AQP.

As long as you don’t mind working for a criminal masquerading as a religious man or you’re okay knowing that a former union leader parlayed his access with management into a position in management than you’ll be okay at YX.
Moreover, if you’re okay knowing that management delayed action on a pilot contact for over eight years creating such a toxic environment that they could no longer recruit pilots ultimately resulting in a filing for bankruptcy then you’ll be okay at YX.

Congrats, looks like you just got more LGA flying as SKYW redeploys to the NW.

Is this true? Did the LGA experiment for SKW fail?

Actually PG was management before he was union.
