Tell all of these idiots to STFU. Especially the Biatch.
It's not bad at all. The instructors have a job to do, and they'll do it. Period.
The training is usually 8 to 50 M thru F for ground schools, i.e., INDOC, Systems, Performance, etc. That could change, depending on what needs to be accomplished and how many are going thru, etc.
CPT (cockpit procedure training....flows, checklists, etc.) is usually 4 sessions, with the last 2 partially in the sim so you can push the real buttons.
Sim sessions are variable, with a 3 hour pre-brief, a 4 hour session, and a 1 hour post-brief. Usually 8 sims, with a mock checkride after followed by the real thing. Don't sweat it.
The wait for IOE (25 gear cycles in the RJ, regardless of hours) varies. There are stories floating out there of one person waiting 28 days for the first IOE trip. They're regular trips, anywhere from 1 day to 4 days, mostly up to 2 days because the IPs don't want to be away from home.
The flight bag is your option. The $30 Office Depot special works great.
Reserve is reserve. Sometimes you work everyday, sometimes you don't work for 3 weeks plus. It varies, take it in stride. Some people bid reserve on purpose because you can still make over guarantee the way our contract is (under block is on top of guarantee, regardless if you hit guarantee or not).
Enjoy your time, and disregard the idiots around here. Some people should be banned just for all of the negative BS.
