[QUOTE=Captain K;2214911]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)[/QUOTE
You get your Crew Bage and KCM badge about 2-3 weeks into ground school, so you can start commuting at that point

I needed a couple extra sims when I was a new hire at another regional. I've never had to talk about that, ever.

The seniority hit cost me when it came time to bid for sim, bid for domicile, and eventually vacation, upgrade, etc. It's just wrong.
