schedule is something like this:
ground school: week of indoc, 2 weeks airplane stuff & CRM class
Cockpit procedure training: 2 days with your sim partner and instr
sim: 11 days (2 travel days, 8 sessions, 1 day off in the middle)
flight training: 2 nights in the airplane
IOE and then they will give you a schedule the first month to finish your 100 hrs.
Then you will be put on the reserve schedule.
I had a few days off in between the variuos traiinng evennts. The ones that are junior will have a little time off after after ground school.
They will probably be able to give you a training schedule in ground school.

Don't blow off the indoc test. It's a bitch and we were poorly reviewed over the material. That test is typically ambiguously worded and tricky. They canned someone a while back for dumping the indoc test, so study.

 

[dash8driver]

yea but you ended up with a better job anyway, so its all good..

 

[Nalo Boy]

congrats on the class guys, youve been waiting long enough. I think Skyride56 is in that one too.

At least from the last class, your training schedule varied greatly depending on your seniority within the class and if you were being typed or not. The senior classmembers from the March 1 class have been on line for the entire month of May, where the junior guy is yet to complete IOE and aren't scheduled to complete IOE until June 1.

1 week indoc, 4 days CPT, 8 sim sessions, 2 airplane flights if you're not typed, 3 if you are.

IOE 5 days, then you are on reserve...their is no "green line" here but dispatch calls the guys that need 100 hours first while on reserve.

As far as schedules, reserve is 10 or 11 days off, it's a modified "preferential bid" system for the days off on reserve, as far as the lines, it's either 11 or 12 days off, you either work an AM 8 hour shift or a PM 8 hour shift and you are home every night


Good luck.
