XJT Training

[wt219200]

Is it true the XJT training is 21 straight days with no days off?

Look, do you want to be an airline pilot or not?

i just left xjet after 7+ yrs...things may have changed (been a good few yrs since i did a full training cycle) but you usually do 5 on, 2-3 off (weekends off 1st few weeks), then you do aircraft training (ground school, ftd, sim)..schedule for that can be 5 on or as little as 2 on in a row with various days off..xjet gives you positive space transportation (aka confirmed seat, not standby) to/from training on days off. by far one of the best training departments in the industry! good luck!

Not true

Never went more than 5 days in a row, and even had up to 4 days off at a time. Used the positive space pass to go home when I could. One of the best regionals out there right now, and gets even better once flying on the line.

Per the contract you cannot go more than 6 on in a row, usually it's 5 on and 2 off. Weekends off where they positive space you home if you want to go.

 

[Baronman]

Usually about 5 on/2 off as far as I remember.

 

[Booker]

Per the contract you cannot go more than 6 on in a row, usually it's 5 on and 2 off. Weekends off where they positive space you home if you want to go.

To elaborate, the CBA also states, "Ground school will not exceed 5 consecutive days during any 7 consecutive day period."

No. Not true at all. Like the above postings state, the contract does not allow it. I've gone home every weekend. They positive-space you.

Thanks for the responses guys. You too crashpad.

base?

When do you find out where you will be based?

Typically sometime during systems. 2-3 weeks in. But from what i hear its has been taking longer to hear but that probably is because of adding the new bases.

apparently we need longer training...people, no nerd here or anything, but read your FILs and maybe open a book once in a while-- no need to complain to the ramp controller that "...my jepps dont show the new spot 2" or to maintenance the "monitored app briefing is missing from the new QRCs"...give me a break, utterly embarrassing...spot 2's been around for almost 2 weeks now!!! heard both today, just venting here because the crackpipe is locked up.....

Couldn't find spot 2 eh...must've been one of those newark crews (only joking of course).

This is the new address for the pipe: http://www.expressjetpilots.com/the-pipe/

 

[Apache 5]

you know, it wasnt the fact that they didnt know where it was, it was the snooty tone of the pilot's questioning/complaining to ramp control........oh well

 

[chrisbh88]

apache 5 is a nerd!! who gives a crap if they ask where it is. CLE's new spots sure as hell confused me when they first came out with them

How many hours are you XJT guys able to credit for pay on the line?

I usually get between 80-90. But I commute and like my time off. Superpilot92 is a pure capitalist and lives in base. He can score over 100 month without giving up much time off.
