September Class
 

Received a CJO today for 17 September light class. I can set up a WhatsApp, DM for link.

When did you interview and what’s your availability if you don’t mind me asking? I interviewed July 12th with a September 1st availability and hoping to hear something soon.

Interviewed July 3 with 1 Sep availability

Congrats on the successful application.

Just received my CJO for the September Class also. Can you DM me the link? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is only one September class? How many in the class?

I interviewed the 22nd and havent heard back yet. When did you interview and have you heard back yet?

In keeping with 3 week separation....I would say Yes

When did you do the Hogan assessment?

I had a cold call 7/8, did the Hogan 7/10, interviewed 7/22, and now I'm waiting.

Congratulations. I got mine last month. Still green and pending but no contact after the Hogan.

Is there a whatsapp group for the September class already? Can someone send me the link? 👍

when is the expected sim graduation time for someone that starts on 17 September?

I’s guessing 8-10 weeks after start, so maybe mid-late November?

I'd say 8-10 weeks is rather accurate. I was a June 7th hire and I finished up my check ride around August 15th. That was with some delays due to instructor getting covid/sims breaking and the scramble afterwards to find instructors. I believe we were originally slated for around August 5th to finish.

Ops normal for any LTT (long term training) event at Oops.

Just got the call today that I will be in the September 17th class. Hope everyone who is waiting for good news finds out soon.

Congrats! I got the call too! Anyone with recommendations on good places to live with a family? Ive heard floyd knob in southern Indiana is solid.

"Sunny sider" here...

Floyds Knobs is definitely nice and well represented, but you don't have to go "up the hill" in Floyd County to get nice neighborhoods and great public schools. Plenty of good subdivisions in New Albany, Georgetown/Lanesville/Greenville to the west are very popular, as is Sellersburg and Memphis to the north.

We moved to Crestwood, KY. The schools are great, the community is really welcoming, and there’s no bridge business to deal with on the way to the world port. The bridges will randomly close, so take that into consideration when choosing where to live.

Oldham County on the KY side is also closer to more things we were looking for (Costco, grocery stores, dance lessons, etc). We do pay a little more for taxes but I think it’s worth it.

Oldham county is iPhone. Floyd County is android. Just kidding

Bridges and tolls >>> driving up and down I-71.

Sherman Minton I64 bridge project should FINALLY be done in the next couple months.

There’s no I-71 traffic at 2AM!

I drive from Henryville, IN. There are two stop signs and no traffic lights between me and Edgewood. It’s completely painless at 2 am and pretty easy at any time but 4 pm.

Lots of pretty good local Louisville area choices depending on what you’re looking for, but if you need California choose Ontario and pick your SoCal poison. I’ve lived on both coasts and Louisville won’t substitute for that, if that’s your thing. If the idea of a city based on bourbon and horse racing appeals. You’ll enjoy life

I’m a Floyds Knobber. About a 25 minute drive to work if Sherman Minton bridge is open, about 30 minutes if it’s not. As mentioned, its refurb should be done in a few weeks and that'll be a thing of the past, although its been a nothing-burger for the last couple years as we only have to cross the bridge a couple times a month anyway with our schedules. Excellent schools in our area too (Highland Hills Middle and Floyd Central High, our son has attended both and they’ve been terrific). There’s some good veterans benefits to living in Indiana too, so if this pertains to you, make sure you research that. My wife and I compared both Oldham County and Indiana and Indiana won out for us primarily as I’m a retired veteran and own a plane that also needed a home, but it wouldn’t have disappointed us to have moved to Oldham County.

How long, if any, has there been a break between indoc and sims in the last few classes?

Depends on fleet. Between a couple days and a month.
seems the 74s are currently getting the most time.

Thanks! Im hoping for a quick turn.

with our schedules, take all the time off you can get.

There is no financial advantage to finishing up fast. Only possible benefit is fewer days per month in Louisville.

I had a month off before sims started, but everyone else in my class started within a week.

THIS.

Only thing I'd add is your money goes approximately 25-30% farther in Indiana (maybe less so in Floyd Cty specifically) than it would in east Jefferson, Oldham County. You'll actually be closer to downtown and Edgewood (in terms of time spent driving) than you would in most of the nice areas in Oldham County.

Take a look at the houses for sale and compare price per square foot and lot size. I've found the above percentages to hold in general.

What did aircraft selection look like for this class?

3 x 747 ANC
2 x A300
9 x MD11
5 x 757 ONT
15 x 757 SDF
2 x 757 SDFZ

Congrats to the new MD FOs. The rest of you should fine too.:D
