What to expect:
A LOFT-style sim leg that feels just like a normal line operation
All systems fully operational just have fun, be yourself, and fly it like you would on the line
Bring your professional self, your iPad for charts, and your preferred checklist
Details:
Session length: ~2.53 hours (briefing + sim leg + debrief)
Compensation: $300 per pilot
Location: JetBlue University, Orlando
Dates available (slots are limited):
