Congrats guys. Give me a shout via PM if you need anything.

You're lucky. When I did X initial, we had NO days off. I left the X for the XL/XLS and am much happier. But the X will be a good first plane to start at NJA.. much better than the non APU Ultra or 400XP. Unless you have to fly with Diesel. Then you'd better not drop the soap!!

Widespreadpanic -

When you get to the sim, ask your academic instructor Mike about his vacation in Gatlinburg. That should freak him out.

Seriously, he's a good dude and you'll enjoy his class. I just went back through X initial following a prolonged medical leave of absence. It didn't get any better the second time through either. 19 days is a helluva long time at the Homewood or Staybridge Suites. Fire me a PM if you have any questions.

Sounds like the classes are getting smaller. I was in March 6th indoc and we had 28 people! Almost all Indy guys. And Griz!


edit: Also some Flight Attendant new hires for part of the indoc...That wasn't bad either

Griz and I got you covered. He'll explain the contract and I'll explain the strip clubs.

Hey hey hey take it easy on my U-Boat or ill fire a torpedo at you. It may be slow but at least I cant fit furniture in the rear baggage. Congrats Archie you will like the X, just be ready to work. BTW I just finished this tour with a new personal best - 7 days, 8 legs.

 

[hydrarkt]

Well, I started in the Ultra.. 2 years. Went to the X...2.5 years. Now I'm in the XL/XLS. So I can talk crap about the U boat
The U boat is a good airplane. But it was nice to get out of it after 2 years to something with an APU and external lav port.

Just try to limit your visits to Sirens to once every other day and you'll be just fine.

One of these days I'll meet you there too!!! Congrats Archie!!

 

[johnsonrod]

Wow! Great news about the X. I've always been impressed with that aircraft. Have fun!

 

[DO-82 driver]

Just curious about something Hydrarkt.....is it easier to float a dog to the cabin ceiling in the U-Boat, XL or the X????

 

[Ultra Grump]

Careful what's in the lav, or you might be floating more than you bargained for...
