Slight offshoot from the original topic. Can anyone comment on what to expect during training? Schedule?
I understand what our hourly pay will be; what's CAL's contract compute for hours paid during training? Per diem?
How about housing? For those not based in IAH, what hotel are they put up at? Do you recommend a car? For those based in IAH, does the company supply a hotel room for commuters?
Thanks in advance.

At UAL in 2007, I was surprised how little computer based training there was. At least on the 737, systems were taught 1 instructor for 2 students, and indoc was a "real" groundschool with instructors. There were several VHS tapes to watch, and some CBT courses as well.

Same for the Bus about that time. Little computer stuff. For CBT it was mainly peripheral subjects nobody wanted to teach, like Hazmat and videos on Jeppesen, fire and safety, windshear and weather etc...
The actual learning was done in class the vast majority of the time. As I recall about 10 guys to a ground instructor.
If it has changed drastically, I would be surprised.

So to recap, it seems Todd C. has advised that they went down 123 to fill the two first classes and Guam volunteers. It was 12 per class right? so thats 24 in 123 calls, or a 5 to 1 ratio so far.
I believe somebody did mention that as they get closer to the invols, the military committed guys increase, so that might actually increase the ratio. At least that seems to be the current logic.
Anybody have anything newer than that?

Wow, that's ambitious projections. In this economy I just can't see it. I'll still wager 4 or 5 to 1 through the end.
Question becomes will they need anyone in the January CAL bid?

Given the amount of time elapsed on furlough, I thought it was about right as most furloughees probably had alternative plans by this time. 1 in 10/18 seems like an understandable high bypass. 1 in 4/5 might indicate that there isn't as much alternative "gravy" out there as originally thought. The economy is certainly a factor. We shall see.
