CRJ classes start on Mondays and end 3 and half weeks later on a Thursday. So the October 3rd class will finish on October 27th. You will bid for sim schedules based on seniority. Out of the 17 sim lines in our class. 15 of them were in SLC and started within a week or so. 2 lines in CVG had 12 days off.
If I did CTP 9/11-17, I could then do Ground School from 10/3-10/27 and hopefully fly out that afternoon (10/27) and make it in time, coming straight back on 10/30.
What are my chances of having 4 days off straight after ground school before starting sim?
Thank you again!

Thanks for that. Basically I am trying to see if there is any way to fit in 4/5 days off to go to my brother's wedding in Australia on 10/29.

1) In-class seniority (determined by your SSN#)
2) Whether the sims are full or not
Some guys in my class had to start sims the day after ground ended. I got 7 weeks off. It's utterly impossible to predict.

Ok, I don't have a SSN yet so can't tell if it's high or low. Thanks everyone, hopefully I can sort it out and start asap, really looking forward to this new chapter

They're going to be dramatically increasing the ORD AA flying. Back earlier in late spring/early summer we had one month of AA -700 flying. They were really awesome pairings too. SLC locals (6+ hrs), MSY, FAR, ALB, FWA overnights. There were a bunch of 26-30 hour 4 days. And 6+ hour stand-ups. All very efficient, and good paying trips.

If you need time off for a big life event you can talk to your instructors about who to email to try to work it out JW or the ladies in the office will try to help you if they can. SIMS are kind of backed up so you should have some flexible options for bidding something that can work for you. Talk to your classmates and explain the situation. If those senior to you are flexible and not turds they can help you out. You bid live in order in class from top to bottom. Best of luck.
