So basically, other than being able to feel extra cool about flying "the big planes", it won't mean squat to you whether you fly the 200, 700, or 900 until you're off probation. ;-)

Don't think this is the case. Not defending SJS but you do get BHO in your first year. It also goes toward breaking guarantee from day one.

I just got off first year pay. You do not get paid any overrides during your first year. It's $22/hour and no more.

I stand corrected. When did this get changed? I just looked up some old (first year) paychecks and the BHO is on there.

Wish I knew. It would've helped out quite a bit.

Pilot Policy Manual. SP 3027.2 Last revision dated May 2011, so probably when we passed the last pay agreement.

No offense, but when I share information, I do generally attempt to make sure it is current and legit.

If you're getting an ATP you need your logbook. If you're just getting a type rating you don't need your logbook but you will still need to know your times to fill out IACRA/8710. Even if you're getting the ATP you won't need the logbook until you get to sim. Don't bring it to ground unless you don't plan on going home.

You also need a headset for sim and it's useful for your observation flights which you do in ground training. That's something they don't tell you in advance for some reason.

As usual, it depends. Most classes are split into two groups for sim, and one group will start right after ground, while the other may have 3-5-? days off. No way to tell which group you will be in until shortly before sim.
