Yea, once you're done with sims it bumps to 76. Have fun man! Training's a good time. If you can bring a car, do so. Lots of cool hang outs in SLC.

Probably any moment now. I do mine in December, I think I got the notice just about a month ago...

Hello.. new to the thread and expected to start a Feb 2017 E175 / LAX base class (at least that is what I am aiming for)

From reading some of the recent threads I understand there is a realistic 6-8 month wait period before you hold a line. ]-Dunno about anyone else but livin in SoCal on minimum (reserve) pay is painful at best.

Jokes aside.. is it worth trying to keep my 135 job on a part-time basis until things kick into high gear? Can this even be considered or is it a conflict of interest either side? Aim for a more junior base and commute?

Part 135 counts against your FAR 117 limitations. You most likely won't be able to fly part 135 on the side and any part 135 flying would require prior approval from the company. Flight instructing on the other hand doesn't count against 117.
