I, for one, take great pride in what we all do as professionals and like to dress the part, whether I'm operating the aircraft, asking for a ride in the j/s, or flying as a non-rev. Maybe it's the conservative in me talking, cause I'm by no means an old guy.
Just my 2 cents. Carry on fellas. I'm out!

The hiring folks aren't very forthcoming with information on exactly how they choose pilots for each class. I don't think anyone outside of them and the chief pilots really know if they use first in first out for the new hires or if they pick and choose some other way. Not having the type shouldn't delay you any more than anyone else.

48 calendar days for my group from day one to LOE.
Weekends off, and a few days off between ground school and sim. No days off during sim.
