So is it common to not go home on the weekends during ground school? What about during sims?

Some people go home, some people don't. I feel like in sims, people were more likely to go home mainly because you got 3-5 days off between blocks of sim.

Almost nobody goes home during ground. Weekends aren't good non reving either. I would suggest against it but that's just my opinion. A few guys did and they made it. I had a couple in my class who struggled and even didn't make it and I wonder if that's why.

During sims like said before you'll have multiple days off to go home and you totally can like after your PV, MV, etc. After each check I had 3 days off.

I went home every weekend during ground school. I'd fly home Friday night and return Sunday midday. The silver bullet was, if I had gotten stranded with lousy loads, I could theoretically have driven 12 hours back to SLC. But with 3 major airports within an hour's drive of my house, there was always a way I could get back.

One cannot study for 25 days straight (indoc + systems). You'd go nuts.

During sims I couldn't possibly go home as sims were in ATL, on the other side of the country. And I never had more than 1 day off between sim blocks. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Did you get the leather jacket or the blazer?

What's the future plan for the crj fleet count? Any chance of scooping up more 7 or 900s? The only thing that has grown recently appears to be a few 200s.

Princeton (BA), Oxford (study abroad), and the University of London (M.S.) Why do you ask?
