I snuck home on most days off. However you obviously have to be smart with it. Have plenty of back up plans on how your going to get back in time and make sure you don’t fall behind on studies.

1 week indoc, 1 week CPT (flows), 1 week self study for 14 hours of CBT, 2 weeks of system integration training (8 sessions) and Oral exam. 1 week of FTD (4 sessions), 1 week of FFS (5 sessions), Type ride, LOFT, UPRT. Total estimated 9 weeks from day zero to go home and wait. Current estimate for first OE flight is about 2 weeks, accordingly its about 5 days of OE can't speak about that.... good luck!

When will our min guarantee pay begin? After the check ride or not until completing OE?

You and your family should understand how initial training works at this point.
Give me a break. Maybe he doesn't need such a snarky reply.

Training pay until completing OE or 90 days of employment.

My regional positive spaced us back and forth on the weekends, so it isn't unheard of in the industry.

The guy is just wanting to know what he's in for.
