E175 Training
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!

I know I won’t be able to hold captain here, but at least should be able to get it pretty soon after initial training.
Everyone is always saying live in base if possible... here it’s possible, but will be sacrificing seniority and more flying. I’ve been weighing it pretty hard, and the living in base holds a lot of weight!
I dunno!
