Thanks for the info, guys. Is skywest going to a home study for systems training system for new hires? Someone told me this was going to happen, but I had thought only Envoy did this. Also, what are the shared rooms like in Denver? I heard in Salt Lake for the crj the rooms are a little bit separated to give some privacy. Is it similar in Denver? Thanks :)

There's some CBTs you are expected to complete on your own time before systems and after INDOC, but not at all, systems by itself. The rooms in Denver are not bad. A suite with a common area and two separate rooms. Some people ended up sharing a room with two beds.

With the amount of new hires failing the systems test after having the full class I highly doubt that it will be online. The FAA in salt lake would be very accommodating I'm guessing... that was sarcasm by the way.

The director of training told my class they were in the works of making systems all CBT'S. Not sure the progress or details on it. Don't a lot of airlines do that?

Is that really a thing at any airline? All CBTs for training would be flunktastic.

I know this is the case at Delta, not sure about the other majors.

CBTs might be good for the ERJ side of the house, I've heard that their ground school instructors are "special".

I would've been watching Netflix in the background if our systems training was all CBTs. Might a good compliment for us visual learners but dang I wouldn't have paid attention if we were supposed to watch all the training.

NEED HELP. I'm really looking at ATP for my flight training and I've been looking on this forum sight and haven't really heard a single good thing about the program. From what I've gathered being an airline pilot in general seems like a waste of time and A LOT of money. Looking for opinions.
