Hey guys new hire here currently in Sim. It looks like I may need a second sim session which would put me into "special tracking". I've asked around and haven't gotten a clear answer as to what that would mean for my career after Skywest. I understand what it entails while I'm here. I know that its PRIA reportable but am unsure as to how future employers would look at it and if it would make getting selected for an interview less likely. Any insight would be appreciated.

Going into the CTP class on the 8th followed by ground school. During the interview they said there would be anywhere from couple days to couple weeks of downtime before sim sessions. The pilot recruiter however says I'll flow directly into sim, is this possible? Especially since they had to split the CTP class into two due to such a large NH group. Just trying to plan some house sitting stuff. Thanks.

When I went through last year the sim classes either started immediately, had a week off, or two weeks off based on where you picked to do the sims. It is seniority based so you may not get what you want.

In ground right now. Our class has between zero days and 3 days from ground to sim, except for 2 folks who have 3 weeks.

SAPA needs to fix the BS practice of giving people who needed the CTP in-class seniority over people who didn't (read: already had their ATP). If anything, thy should go to the bottom of the class since they cost the company a bunch of extra money due to their lack of the rating.

In the same class as Nate. I have 4 or 5 days off before I start sims. Some people start the next day after the SV. The guys going to CVG have a little bit of a break.

Awesome thanks. Do they put you into CASS right away? If I end up having more then a week off it'd be nice to pop home for a day or two. Im commuting from a non-domicile so they won't be able to fly me home. (Silly rule)

You get your Crew Bage and KCM badge about 2-3 weeks into ground school, so you can start commuting at that point
