Got it. I saw it mentioned in all the docs sent after CJO, prior to indoc. I guess no way to review prior to class date? Would be interesting to see where the procedures differ from previous 121 jobs.

That could be worded better. My point is NOT: Don't mention xjt or they will slap you down. My point IS don't mention the xjt stuff, because there's no point. Just learn the 9E stuff.

Actually, what website are you trying to access? If it's endeavorair.com, there's nothing to find there; it's just an online brochure for the airline.

The employee website with everything on it is endeavorairnet.com. But I just remembered that you probably don't get access until indoc starts. You actually get/create logins for upwards of 10 different systems, some of which are part of the main website, and some of which are entirely separate. And you have to change your password for most of them every couple of months. It's kind of a pain in the ass.

But the bottom line is, no FOM access until you show up to class, unless I remember wrong or something has changed.

Just hope you don’t get a overnight there over a weekend. Van driver said they have a hockey tournament every weekend until spring. Last week it was a bunch of 10 years old Running up and down the hallway throwing ice until midnight. Parents were drunk in the bar so nothing was done about it. Front desk laughed when i suggested hiring a night security guard

Also every guy remembers fondly the way his / her native company "did it" and how much better it worked for a host of reasons.

We like delta but boy are their procedures useless for this Canadian Boi.

If you are previous airline you should already know that the procedures should be known basically "cold". Being surprised that you needed to be more prepared is well, not being prepared.

I transitioned from another airline and I was instructor who was intimately familiar with the previous procedures...it was a difficult flush but by the end of PT it was less awkward enough to be quite successful in sims. Do what everyone should do regardless of background... Extra study... Those trainers have lots of open slots.

Wondering the exact same thing myself. Holiday Inn downtown was always accommodating and had a great shuttle service, walkable to great breweries/restaurants. New place, not so much.

At the end of the week before, in telling us to get ready for the FTD's (procedures trainers) the ground school teachers used a lot of phrases like "look over..." and "get familiar with..."

No. Don't look over or get familiar... Straight up learn it, because that's what's expected by the FTD instructors, who are a different department. That means all the flows, callous and profiles, straight through, verbatim, as if you're gonna fly the airplane. From cold and dark to shut down. You'll be running through all this like a sim session; the FTD's actually fly, just with no yoke (AP only), motion, or visuals.
You can schedule those FTD trainers when they are not scheduled for use with other people/instructors. My sim partner and I scheduled them just a few days per week after our training sessions, and I think I learned more when it was just my sim partner and myself in there because we knew what we needed to work on based on our training session earlier that day. Talk to Paul, his office is right there by where the FTD trainers are, and he'll get you scheduled. Super nice guy.

Thanks for all the info, interviewing next month. I'm on the ERJ side of Xjet but I think our future is still very uncertain and we're still extremely stagnated and underpaid. I can go across the river to 9E and make more than twice as much while getting PIC time.
