It's not that bad. Just get through it. Pay attention to the systems portion and invest some time in PIC and SIC flows. You will be spoon fed the non systems/flows information. Just get through the home study stuff early. I suggest doing the systems last and expect it to take 3 or 4 days to learn (then refresh yourself over the first few weeks before your systems validation). You'll be fine.

I'd wear a baby blue tux with ruffles.

Info

Posted in Envoy and XJT thread:

Looking for some honest info, no trolls please.

Have calls from Envoy, Compass, Express Jet, Silver, GoJet to interview. Also one with Mountain Air Cargo. I'm on the east coast, so Sky west was not really an option for me.

I need to get some recency of 121 so I can be more competitive with majors. Been inactive from flying, other than some 91 stuff, for the better part of 2 years.

I would like your thoughts on which regional to go with or should I look seriously at MAC. Thanks in advance.

3800 TT, 3700 PIC turbine, F-16 IP/SEFE, King Air 350, Cirrus SR-22, L-39

There are rumors at Compass of some east coast flying (LGA) but that's just rumor for now. Compass is a good bet for a regional but Endeavor might be your best bet on the east coast.

Keep working your mil contacts and good luck.

Flica shows me as an LAX FO on a few things, such as open time pot. I finished CA OE last week and have a CA Oct schedule. Anyone in particular I can talk to so it shows me as CA?

Plenty of highly experienced military guys who have apps in there and everywhere else (for quite a long time...) and still not getting calls "tomorrow".
