Never, My wife came to MIA for a visit. You will train on weekends but every ones schedule will vary greatly and change daily. Going home is risky unless you are close by.

In 747 class Dec-Feb, so had about 5-6 days for Christmas, then 4 days around mid-Jan, but not necessarily for MLK Day but was close to it. Then had another 3-4 day hole in last week of class. I left for the first two longer breaks, but not the last one. You will have some 3-4 day gaps once you are in the CPT/Sim phases just because there are too many trainees to get everyone in the sim every day. Some guys who lived in Florida went home weekly and one guy daily.

Big Tip: IF you do decide to go somewhere, make sure you talk to the schedulers, Dee or Sandra, to ensure that they know you are leaving. If you don't and they move training into your gap, you will be responsible for it and probably fired or at least get in some trouble if you no show it because you went home.

I personally had quite a bit of time off once after the oral. Not uncommon to have a 2-3 days off. That being said, 4am sim slots come early... Between the studying, and crazy sim schedules - it's best to hang in Miami. Maybe take a quick trip to they keys to get away from it all for a weekend.

This is no longer the method method? Do I need to apply again through the new system?

Also, applied initially about two months ago. No email with test so far. Also have an internal recommendation. Low time though 3000TT 1500turbine 300 121 pic....

Normal to be waiting so long for the test?

I checked. EVERYTHING online now. You have to make a profile, and go from there. The old system is gone.

Totally kidding, Walt. Yes they definitely do. I've met several with foreign passports. As long as the paperwork matches up!

Thanks both of you. So there is a hope. Cheers

Working at Atlas is like working at The United Nations...

Many nationalities, many backgrounds, a rich diversity.

If you are legally permitted to work in the US (Registered Alien/Greencard Holder) and hold a passport of any nationality you are an equal contender for a pilot position, providing everything else is in order.

No issues with the additional cost surrounding vetting for the training.

There is no word on anything having changed. So I would assume classes of 16 for the 76 every three weeks and classes of 24 with every other class having 32 for the 74.

I thought they slowed down the classes. I don't remember hearing about May or early June classes.

Haven't got pizza party invites for a while now!
