Hmmmm. They might let you expense it but I kind of doubt it as they would say you're Mco based during training or something like that. It's going to be a long time till you get back to the car, sure there's nobody that can drop you off? If not, make sure you leave a snow shovel in it...

I didn't think about the issue of being based in MCO. I do have a volunteer driver, so I may take them up on it.

Greatly appreciate the reply! Now I have a much better idea of a possible "bracket window" between call and interview.

You won't get free JFK parking until you're based in JFK after training. JB flies to MCO from EWR so get someone to drop you off there or take the train. Depending where you live in NJ the commute is not bad.

You'll have plenty of time to plan the quickest routes after training since you'll have plenty of notice for your IOE trips. The chief pilots office will get you free parking when you are almost done with sims, it takes them about a week to get back to you.

Save yourself the headache and just have someone drop you off at the airport when you head down for training. You will have to get into the CP office and complete your paperwork before you get your JFK parking anyway. Leave your car in Lefferts and it is going to set you back $18/Day. Even if you had your parking set up, you couldn't leave your car in long term for more the 14 days in a row before you have to pay for it anyway (This is a Port Authority rule that can't be waived) .

You'll have plenty of time to simulate your commute when you are actually making it.

Good stuff. Thanks

Hey guys just got email for phone interview, says I need log book handy but I'm on a 4 day. Any ideas why I would need it in front of me, I assume they want to confirm times. But I can ball park without looking at the books

They want your actual times. They really don't want an estimation.

Also, if you have logbook pro, print out the flight summary page. That will have all the answers to the questions they will ask.

I'm old school no electronic log book. I guess I'll figure away to grab it. Anything I should know other wise for the call? Excited Ive started the process and hope it all goes well

Same here. Love holding out to be Old School. I had no issues with it during the interview-- just make sure its nice and neat. I also tabbed milestones etc., to make it easy for the poor FO doing it.
