Too funny. I never even thought of that. Did they give you first class?

I'd prefer long sleeve, but then you're the only one and it becomes noticeable. But I think it's more professional. But I don't have one because the quality of the sleeves is pretty poor. I get cold. I'm not like the boys in my neighborhood who rock the short sleeve shirts and shorts in 18 degree windy weather day while standing next to girls in jeans, sweaters with jackets, scarfs, ear muffs, gloves and a cap.

Those boys look sooooo tough.

I think we should wear the jacket year round unless you're on the 88. But I think I'm the only one who finds the jacket looks professional the shirt looks Dwight Schrute like.

No, but I think it was because it was completely full. I didn't really care though since I was so stoked about receiving the CJO! So, back to my original question...is the travel arrangement the same for Indoc/training as for the interview? Will they positive space me to Indoc or do I have to buy my own ticket to ATL?

Thanks for the info. Badgerned, as a sanity check on the spreadsheet, I am a Dec 17 interviewee and was told today that there are roughly 50 pilots ahead of me after taking into account everyone assigned to classes in April. They also said all April classes are full. They did not say how many classes there are in April.

Aren't we all. Chances are, your boss knows thanks to PRIA.

I do wonder - as people may be waiting in the pool for several months - will they pull PRIA again? (ie first time after CJO, then again before class?)

There is really nothing a good tax guy can't handle...CPA, tax attorney...etc.

The only thing that's somewhat different than a cubicle drone's taxes might be the 2106...but pro-diem.com does the calculations and even provides the instructions if needed. A good tax guy should know that form.

Union dues, expenses, etc...there really isn't anything cosmic about our taxes.

Now, multiple families in multiple countries...that's when it gets sporty.
