Better pay a premium or we will need to lose flying to staff it.

If you don't hear a rumor you're probably not at work...you're probably on that show naked and afraid

Not flying, ownership stake. Inc. has bought into other operations, was just wondering if anyone else had heard any buzz.

how far into training are sim assignment made? When you are assigned a sim date, will it tell you the exact days you will be having your sim training?

I have a wedding I'm attending and just trying to get an idea if I'll be off or not for it. And when I will know by. Thanks!

I believe it is bid on the first or second day of systems. During indoc transitions from the EMB-120 are not in class. Once they arrive you bid the sim based on seniority.

Do you pick your sim partner or are they assigned?

You pick your sim partner, they do make transitioning captains pair with new hires. If you get a captain as a sim partner you will be more senior for picking sim. The only thing is that when I transitioned last summer captains could only bid on SLC spots.

In the recent class sim schedule was posted and the class bid in seniority order for slots, not partners. The bottom three were deferred but they have spots now too.

? Nobody in my new-hire class got to pick their sim partner. We just bid for slots. So you could kinda, sorta 'pick' a partner if two of you were close in class seniority and you both bid for the same slot...
