I finally made it to the pool. A couple weeks and counting. This is going to be a tough wait.

Congrats. Hope you get the call for class soon.

I'm in since Dec 2017. From what I hear, they are done hiring for the year, classes are filled through August, so the pool should be drained this fall (that last part is my wishful thinking).

That would be great! I’ve heard they plan on running classes through peak.

A new system bid is expected and I'd imagine their training capacity increases with the new center opening in the fall.

I think I heard a fall opening would be optimistic. Let's hope not.

Really? Do you know anything about the new "training" center?

No classrooms in the building and so far only one sim scheduled to go in it...maybe. Story is the 747 sim may be headed north.

I don't see any increase in training capacity.

Typical UPS fashion. Nothing new sadly. The current "center" is a series of trailers nailed together complete with 1970s decor and some really REALLY old furnitures still with stickers that read "property of Orion Air" on it. Not sure if they stole that **** or what.

The word cheap does not begin to describe these people.

Cheapness is a from of art.....As long as we're not talking about THIS fall it might be doable. They got the dry walls up in the ONT sleep room and all constructions have stopped. I guess their contractor got deported.

Would that be MAGA? I love the current arrangements, next to the bathroom. It's like a motel 6, but worse. Trying to catch a few winks between MHR-ONT-OAK-MHR, I only hear the pitter patter of footstep and stall doors.
