I plan to return to the same jet, so I was wondering what to expect training wise...will it be the standard CQ training with an extra day or two? Is there a specific reference that details the training course/track I will attend based on time away?
Thanks!
Nope. I was out on MLOA for 7 months and had one day of sim training and then a maneuvers validation and LOE flight (757/767).
On day one they threw EVERY scenario at me in one four hour sim. I was braindead after that. The sim ride was in the training book and there was even an instructor guide for it. They gave me a Normal Takeoff, normal landing, abort, V1 Cut, SE Go-around, SE Landing, Windshear takeoff, in the pattern, and on landing, terrain escape maneuver, Critical terrain divert, NAT divert, flap malfunction disagree to a landing, crosswind landings, and taxi. I might be leaving something out. It was the hardest single event I've ever completed in my career.
Then on the second day I did a mini-maneuver evaluation, break, then a JFK-PHL profile LOE.
Two days. That was it. I thought I would be given more sims but I wasn't. Good luck.
Make sure you follow the USERRA rules and Delta's Guide for Military Leave and give proper notice and return when you are supposed to.
