I saw one come to SLC today from SEA. I knew they were doing PDX SEA runs but I think they are going other places now.

Is it true Skywest does double occupancy during training?

Yes. RIP your aviation career, we hardly knew it.

Until sims. One of the beds is in a room with a door and the other is next to the kitchen area. You'll still have enough privacy or you can pay extra for a single room. Just be social and get the double, it was better that way.

(This is on the CRJ, not sure about ERJ training)

Double occupancy during indoc/ ground.

Single during sims.

It wasn't a big deal.

Starting with Indoc, what's the usual training schedule? M-F with every Sat and Sun off until Sims?

My interviewer said he had to fly off hours on his weekends off to hit 1500 before the sim check ride. I'm trying to figure out how much time I have.

Yes, Monday through Friday. If you can, show up not with all your flight hours and use all the weekends for studying.

I'd recommend using the weekend to chill the hell out and explore SLC (or wherever you are) otherwise you're gonna get burned out incredibly fast.

The instructors will tell you the same thing.

Go out Friday night, rest Saturday, and study Sunday was my groups schedule. Instructors even told us to go out Friday and put your books down lol

It really is true. I guess you don't HAVE to quit studying, but it is recommended. I liked that our class went out at least twice as a group for dinner on the weekend. We drank, talked, relaxed, got to know each other more, and overall it was a way to release.

Now if you go out after dinner, that's up to you. Some did some didn't. Overall, everyone did well and passed ground school with the exception of few. Those who didn't pass were not the ones who went out after dinner to party either. Study, but have fun while you are there. It really should and is an experience as a whole. Ground school was no light thing, but it was nice to meet people and hang out.

Good luck, we're all counting on you.
