Im deep in reserve and commute 3hrs drive. With ample trips to choose from aggressive pickup works great. I have a reasonable schedule and scheduling never calls. Very easy.

That’s not a commute, and yes, it’s very easy.

Oh absolutely. When you don't have an "up or out" system and not enough people want to move up, how could it not become an issue? Ok, yeah, send the flying to other bases - that's still an issue and not the desired plan.

They took it away because someone put it online.

I did. The SKV was the hardest part of the program. No gouge and no question bank. I have been on it for a few years and had to go back to the bus during the pandemic and was absolutely bored. I was on the bus for 5 years and wanted a little more variety in flying, and the 756 fleet has all of that. No worrying about landing currency.

Domestic? Yes. Europe? Yes South America? Yes. Hawaii? Yes.

True or not, maybe add this to the list of things that shouldn’t be discussed on public forums.

I think he’s referring to the training materials provided by the company. The 756 didn’t used to have one for the SKV… they do now.

It did, but someone put it on the Internet and ruined it. Someone else got caught taking pictures of the test questions. Now there is a new test and company study questions. The study questions are on the company training download site. There’s other good training downloads for the 756 there too.

I used/studied the company material and got a 97%. It is harder than the other fleets due to all the fleet differences. Just pay attention and study.

There’s no need for non-company products or “gouge”.
