Me and a buddy are RW guys new to OO and we were thinking we might be in the middle or on the tail end of the RW crowd. It seems like a lot of that fruit has or is falling right now and it'll settle down fast. We thought we were behind the power curve coming in now, a lot of friends of ours from the community jumped in the past two years. Sure is an interesting time and we're grateful for the opportunity. 10 years ago I was told there was no way we could fly for money outside of the military being a helicopter guy. And now look where the industry is.
The Army is about the slowest route there is to accrue flight time, with exceptions, which are rarer these days. The people in our class from that background were either retired from AD or guard/reserve guys with around 7+ years flying RW.

Anybody who went through E175 training recently willing to PM me I’d appreciate it. I have a couple questions.
Looking for the best way to prep.... or things you wish you would’ve known before starting training?
I’m a CFI-II. I have Sheppard Air for the ATP.
I’ve heard about the fire hose and to wait till they give you the info so you don’t learn the wrong stuff.. I have a few months before training so just looking for any advice! Feels like I should be doing something other than teaching to get ready?
FYI...I interviewed last week and the soonest class date for 175 was November. I’m on the waitlist for August.
Thanks!
