Indoc at NJ

[JJDriver]

I was planning to fly home for the weekend during indoc. Does anyone know what time class ends?

 

[Twotter76]

Don't know what time it ends but you want to be REAL careful doing that. Even if you are buying tickets both ways I don't expect it is going to be looked in a positive light if you don't make it back on time, even if it isn't your fault. This is a great job, I don't know if what you propose is worth the risk. Good luck and welcome aboard!

 

[DAS at 10/250]

Agreed. Stay in CMH. Study and hang out with your new buds.

 

[captain dad]

Unless you are driving home, I agree stay put, hang and study.

But that's just me.

 

[OPECJet]

We had a couple of guys go home and make it back successfully when I went through. I tend to agree with the guys who say stay there in CMH. It's just too good of a job to risk losing by not making it back in time.

There's a lot to do nearby. I'd head over to Wright-Pat on Sat, then sleep in Sunday. You'll have to be in the pool early Monday anyway.

It sucks being away from home that long, but the upside is you'll be home about a week before you go to Flight Safety. Congrats on being in indoc!

If you DO leave, class should be out by 5, but you're probably playing fireman that day and it could run later. I wouldn't take the chance.

Guys, Relax. Just leave yourself plenty of options for getting back on Sunday. Don't take the last flight into CMH. Class generally ends promptly at 5pm on Friday . I've been here awhile. This is just my 2 cents.

Study??? for INDOC....

The test is open book!!!!!

 

[jherk02]

Didn't Indoc run through Saturday??? First Aid or CPR??

 

[rydog]

Sat and Sun you are off!

I drove to indy and saw the indy 500. Glad i didnt stay in CMH all weekend.

 

[amaineiac]

If you're getting homesick while in indoc, you're really going to hate systems.

Try 3 straight weeks with only 2 days off.

Stay in CMH, bond with your new friends by getting drunk in Easton and take the hotel shuttle back to the hotel.

I non-reved home on the weekend duing indoc and non-reved back.. no big deal

 

[Semore Butts]

How long is INDOC these days?

I've been on military leave quite awhile and will have to go through again.

I just wondered?

Take care,

 

[fischman]

Semore,

They discussed you.

You are special.

Too much Stag Beer.

6 months of indoc for you!

 

[Semore Butts]

Hey I was just home man!

Back in St. Louis!

6 Months INDOC? Wow! Thats some serious Per Dium and overtime! I'm in man!

 

[Helmsalee]

Welcome back,
For new hires it is mon-fri 2 weeks.

 

[Semore Butts]

Yeah we know Helmsalee

Fischman is just giving me a ration of sh!t!

We are fellow Stag Beer drinking St. Louis Boys!

I'll be the only "4 Striper" in INDOC unless some of my military pals are coming back as well.

Usually we only get recurrent, but I've been gone a long time.

Take care, Semore

What does the pool training consist of? As a non-swimmer, I'm a little concerned about that part. I've been at five airlines, but I've been lucky enough to never have to do any water training. I've also been fortunate enough to never ditch an airplane!

 

[fischman]

You'll be required to jump into a pool, inflate the vest, flip a raft from inverted, climb in, and climb out of the raft while helping others.

Good luck.

Indoc

Two weeks of indoc doesn't seem too bad but 3 weeks of systems with only 2 days off -- ouch, what a grind. Can I assume sim is in there too?? Either way I'd gladly do it to get on board.

Does NJ put you up during indoc and pay you too ?? Indoc is in Columbus, where's the rest usually done ??

 

[CRJFlyer]

Everything is paid,hotel, rental car plus salary, plus per diem...No crew food though!!!! I spent more on food during indoc than I have on line for the last nine months...wtf
