Many people showed up in my class with limitations memorized, but you don't even talk about aircraft specific stuff until ground. By the time we were starting ground they had already forgotten half the limitations

Is dual-occupancy still a thing, and if so, about how much is it to pay for single-occupancy? I’m assuming that’s a paycheck deduction?
It sounds like Paris is skewing junior for initial. Is that true?
Any new ERJ bases coming online later this year? Thanks!

I chose crj during my interview and ended up switching to erj a couple weeks ago. My class date in 5/24 and my welcome letter states single occupancy and im not required to pay half. Ive heard once the state side locations fill up then they start sending people overseas. Have you been in the their cadet program? Think that is a good way to stay stateside. Ive heard of Atlanta for crj but nothing for erj.

When are you upgrading into the ERJ? Half my class has their bid in for it over the deuce

All they teach is a new aircraft and how they run their 121 ops. You’re pretty much most of the way there. Still amazes me how many people wash out.

I suppose it’s flying. Not EVERYONE can fly a jet. Staying ahead. Walking and chewing gum. Sometimes it’s instrument proficiency I think. Military calls all that “headwork”.
In MV the cockpit will feel like a hostile environment. And it is. Which is ok.
Sticktoitiveness. All good 121 pilots have it. You’ll also need it during your five month wait for ioe! Lol.

Hey, anyone recently complete training? Im about to start sims and wondering what the wait time to start IOE is looking like. From what ive been told its right around 3-4 weeks. If anyone has questions about Indoc, ground or sim lines im happy to answer.
