The last two classes have been at the Sheraton. The Nov 13 class is at Doubletree and the one after that is back at Hyatt. Sorry I don't know for sure about Nov 6th but I'd guess it would be Doubletree. |

Is the Doubletree "good"?
It is very good...plenty of food and drink options within walking distance. And its in a much safer area if you are out walking around...and its a much closer drive to the training building. Hyatt takes 20 minutes or more in traffic...Doubletree is 5 minutes away. |

THX!!! You're done, no?
No...we just finished week 5. We'll be done Nov 19th and do IOE after Thanksgiving. Its a very long program...not exactly fast paced. They have to talk real slow for the airbus pilots. |

Probably see you right before you're done. |
Sheraton, Doubletree, Hyatt, Marriott...
Seems like by now they would have this figured out and have some predictability. But crew scheduling, "hotel desk", irregular ops deadheading, etc. are all done "on the fly" and it is left to the CAL pilot to figure it all out. One of the differences I've noticed. Here's an example - while flying your leg they re-crew you and modify your pairing/ID. So now you are not flying to destination B on the next leg, but you don't know that yet... Seems dispatch/crew sched would send you an ACARS alerting you to the change, right?? In fact a full ACARS printout of the new pairing, along with weather and notams for your new destination... Nope. You land, haul bags, and show up at the next airplane headed for destination B, and there are 4 pilots ready to fly the flight. The gate agent is confused why there are 4 pilots, and informs the original 2 they are no longer on the flight. True story and typical of the CAL scheduling process. |
Nov 6 class hotel
Talk really really slow for Airbus pilots. Since flying the 737 is like a 1960s flash back.
