If you are really daring there is always the "Jon Graff Challenge" on the final. Don't think anyone has taken the challenge, but if you are willing, your name will be of legends. Lol.

*the Jon graff challenge is for the final exam. Answer the first 80 questions and leave the last 20 questions blank. If you get all of the 80 correct you will get a 100% and if you get 1 wrong you fail.

About two weeks. When I was a new hire on the Brasilia I don't think anyone from my class went home any weekend. My RJ class went home all the time. They really let you have it as a bro new hire. I spent most of my weekends catching up on sleep and studying.

I was in the August 5th EMB class, and we didn't get our badges until the last week of systems class. You have some non-rev travel benefits earlier, but I would highly recommend staying in SLC during your days off. Especially during systems. There is a ton of material to study, and you'll need the time to recoup as well without other distractions. It's just not worth it in my opinion. You only get two chances on the systems final before they send you packing..

Ya the thing is you need your badge to jumpseat and it can take up to a month or so to get it from SGU

I think it is supposed to continue indefinitely... at least they told me to expect continued IOE for the foreseeable future. Good luck to all, SkyWest is a great place to be. Great training, mostly good people, and a hopefully bright future.
