Current Training Footprint
Would someone be kind enough to shed light on the CURRENT training footprint for the CRJ in SLC? My wife wants to know and finds it surprising that I have been told so little to this point. Help me be a good husband. Private messages welcomed. FYI...Searched within SkyWest and found very little current info. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply. So, one week I doc, two weeks of systems, and then off to Sims? Then off to start IOE? How long in SLC?

Your sims could be in SLC, or they could be somewhere else such as Denver or Atlanta. You could have anywhere from 0 days to 4 weeks between ground school and sims. Sims is about 3 weeks long. You can have anywhere from 5 days to 7 weeks off between sim and starting IOE. IOE can be done in any domicile.

I am currently in SLC in first part of sims, procedures. I have a couple of days off then start maneuvers after that I get Thanksgiving week off but am back on Saturday for LOFT the final phase of Sims.
You will bid for your sim schedule based on your seniority in your class. I was a Cadet for a year so I was number 2.
Don’t know my domicile yet but expecting Detroit, Chicago or MSP are the most probable from what the class prior had.
Also have heard it could be a delay between sims and IOE possibly weeks so they require if waiting over a week to go on two jump seat trips per week to observe to keep your head in the game.
I was under the old foot print we started Indoc Oct 2 finished Systems October 26. I got 5 days off between systems and start of sims on Nov 1st.
Good luck and welcome to SkyWest.

If you get many weeks off, take advantage of the (slightly) paid time off and travel benefits to go see some of the world. Don't be in a hurry to work. You'll have years of 98 hour lines and no vacay slots soon enough.
