How's your PBS skillz bro? I actually learned a lot from a few ORD Captains who were cool enough to sit down and get me dialed in, helped understand how the mysterious machine does it's business. Of course the ORD flying is mainly pretty junky, so I guess you can only expect so much.

I'm no expert but I've learned a few things;

a) Old guys have no idea, totally lost. Same with FA's. Old/slow, mid range/senior FO's who have no clue are your best friend.

b) Very possible to outbid seniority (due to the old/slow people), you have to be realistic however.

c) Protein shakes.

The End.

But then I posted this awhile ago, and I will leave this forum like the ones before, they become predictable and repetitious AND I WON'T BE MISSED.

Bye.

Maybe its filled with transitions? Either way I'm excited to get started on this next step for me. Hope you get a firm class assignment soon!

I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but the class dates for the ERJ, according to the DVR, were for January 5 and 19. And I doubt SkyWest has cancelled any classes for any aircraft.

The DVR is currently showing February 2 and 16 as class dates for the ERJ. It looks like they're running a class every two weeks starting on a Monday.
