Anyone out there willing to share some basics on the ERJ 145 so I can memorize the limitations and profiles before I show up for training after Thanksgiving? They gave us a study guide and some flows to memorize but no limitations.

This would particularly work out if you live in the Chicagoland area. PM me if you can offer any help,

Thanks

I am almost certain that a limitation sheet is in the newhire training folder. If not I know that you can find them online. I have been to the site. They are in the form of a slideshow. Good Luck!
 
hey there,

im a new hire with xjt been on the line for about a month or so.

you can get a headstart by going to 145studyguide.com

only warning with that one is to only use it as a guide, nothing more.

it isn't the exact same stuff as xjt gives you in training but it will give you some insight. hope this helps you.
 
go to ccsmax.com, click on expressjet goodies and there are your limitations. Also go ahead and get setup with CCS Max, it makes using CCS(the program you do almost everything company wise with) so much easier and intuitive to use.
 
Thanks for all the helpful replies, but I don't start class until next week and all they gave me was a Pilot Training Student Study Guide binder with the syllabus and flows in it, told me to memorize the flows in Appendix C. Haven't been able to find aircraft limitations anywhere in there.

You guys mentioned a couple of websites, since I haven't started class yet will I be able to log on to those? Don't I need some sort of company issued employee number and password?
 
Rather than try and unlearn any information that XJT teaches differently, you might be wiser to just wait.
 
Just wait dont overstudy you will fill your brain with too many frogs.... then you put one in but two jump out! They will tell you what you need to know.
 
ccsmax.com is not a company website. It is a free site run by a pilot. The limitations on there are up to date and are kept up to date. Dont worry about learning the limitations on there and then having to learn different ones. They are the most current.
 
Yeah I tried it out, it's great, best thing since sliced bread. I'm gonna have to start using the ccs logbook feature as well. Thanks for the input, guys.

Now can someone explain the differences between XR, ER and LR?
 
XR= good, pretty winglets
ER= bad, 3 or 4 angry people left at the gate
LR= eh...depends on how hot is is

Seriously though the XR's are the newest and can carry the most load, fuel, and go farthest. The ER's are the oldest, they are EP's now with new engines but are still subject to weight restrictions. The LR's are decent airplanes, run of the mill performance most of the time, hot and heavy it struggles though...

Slipstream,

Welcome to the funny farm and congrats on your recent accomplishments at XJET. You are truly lucky to be joining one of the few regionals left that are not in the race to the bottom. I'm certain you will find your time at ExpressJet both exciting and rewarding. Now for your post.....don't knock yourself out now. Really. You will have plenty of time in class to learn what you need to know, and our instructors and training department are going to go overboard to get you through. If you want to be successful here, this is what I recommend:

1. Show up everyday with a good attitude knowing that you ARE lucky to be here.

2. Study your a$$ off from what they tell you in class.

3. Have fun! Training is a stressful event for all pilots, however, being excited to learn (rather than fearful) will enhance your training event.

4. Repeat #1 - Have a good attitude and you will have NO problems.

Relax, Man. I know you want to prepare in advance, but in many cases, studying the wrong material may hurt you more than help you. What they are going to teach you is neither rocket science, nor particularly hard. Just lots of volume in a short amount of time. Pay attention in class, take good notes, ask a few questions, and you'll come out smelling like a rose.

PM me if you have any specific questions!

They stopped giving the limitaions in the new hire folder for a reason. Spend your time learning your flows. If you can show up knowing your flows like the back of your hand, your training will be much easier...
 
Again, heartfelt thanks for being so supportive, if you folks are this way online and your morale at the pilot group is so admirable (which means a lot and was a prime factor for me in choosing XJT.

I'll take all your advice and hope to meet some or all of you in person some day soon.

Learn the flows and show up with a good attitude and you are set. Relax and Have fun.

:beer: See Ya On The Line:beer:
 
Also, be sure to drink everynight!!! We don't like people that eat, sleep, and drink flying. Just playing, but just show up ready to learn and have a couple beers by the pool. The H.I. on weekends...well everynight can be pretty fun. Thanks for pushing me farther and farther away from ARC!
 
Can somebody do me a huge favor and tell me exactly which Holiday Inn we're staying at? Any decent, cheap food to be had near by? Hoping to reserve a fridge and microwave too but don't even know what number to call or which hotel. Don't think I'll bring a car down right away so don't wanna be at the mercy of their restaurant every day.
 
The wonderful, 5-star H.I. North, on JFK Blvd. Truly a fabulous place to stay. Rooms and amenities are second-to-none. Friendly, helpful staff always available to cater to your every want and need. And the food....Bon appetite my friend, I challenge you to find any better on the planet. It truly is so incredilbe, you probably won't ever leave!!! :D :laugh:

box

P.S.- Definitely could be worse!!
 
Get yourself on the waiting list for a fridge right away.....or just find one sitting in the hall and grab it. As for a microwave, no deal.....they won't let you have them in the rooms. Good Eats isn't that bad, and there are a few places you can walk to. Good luck and have fun down there.
 
You can do whatever you want on the weekends, and they will positive space you home if you fill out a travel request form. What's to eat around the Holiday Inn? Kettle, Subway, Jack in the Box, and Taco Bell are all within a mile. The hotel van will take you to deerbrook mall where you can find the typical food court selections. Enough people will probably have cars, so you can all ride together to decent restaurants .
 
I call shotgun on any fridges and contraband microwaves I see, amigos! Anyone know when they let you know about your base assignments? I figure I'll wait until I hear from them, if I get Houston then I'll fly home one weekend and drive back, if I get Newark or Cleveland then forget it, no point driving a car all the way from Illinois.

Also I assume it's basically business casual during training, polo or long sleeves and khakhis or slacks?

As for going home, I imagine I'll try to do that early on before we get deep into systems or sim training.

B-Casual during training. Just a shirt with a collar, jeans are okay Friday-Sunday or after 5PM.

Go home often, a room-mate and the moldy air inside the hotel gets to you after the week plus if you're going to be a commuter enjoy the positive space and must ride status while you have it! There is nothing like remembering when you could bump revenue when you're sitting in EWR trying to get home the day before Christmas. Systems and what not is not too tough, but I didn't go home durring the one 2 day break we had in SIMs.

Try to drink or do whatever you do to relax whenever you don't have to be studying - it will help. Form a small study group with people that know whats going on because you'll be suprised who shows up to class with no idea of what they are dooing.

I went through initial more than a year and a half ago but I think I remember us taking a frige out of one of the maid's closets a few doors down from a stairwell so we wouldn't have to wait for a fridge. Soon after some (read: too many) Katria evacuees (dirty ghetto people with no class) showed up and made the hotel a very undesirable place to be, unless you like the smell of weed smoke and malt liquor.

If you show up and work hard you'll be okay.

Just learn to drink that is all you need to do to pass training. Thats all I did and made it thru with flying colors.
 
Anyone know if we're supposed to know just the single FMS flows of the dual FMS or both? And of course I've been memorizing the captain's flows as well because in sim training I assume you'd be assigned the left seat while your partner's in the right...

Not much different in the flows for dual or single FMS's. Depending on the sim you are in depends on whether there are 1 or 2 in it. Also know the Captain flows so you can help your partner out. After training you can pretty much brain dump the captain flows. You will be left seat while your partner is flying. have fun

What are you worried about unless you are an idiot you will pass training as they make sure of it.

Not true, seems like there is something like 2 people per class who dont make it. That was the case in my class also.
