Because the math is inescapable. If one is less than 50, 55 if an FO, you will make more money and come out ahead on retirement benefits by leaving Kalitta for FedEx or UPS. If one of the big four the math is almost as clear. For some guys depending on seniority those age numbers are even higher. I know a few considering the jump at 57.

I received my CBT access two weeks prior to class. And completed them prior to class starting. They did give my class a week specifically to finish/do the CBT lessons. Most of my class needed this time to complete them.

I agree these CBT's were not quite as bad as poking red hot needles into the tip of your tinkler and I can't say much more about the quality of the training you get in the classroom at YIP either. But its the old cooperate and graduate system. You are going to hear a lot of "Back when in the CLASSIC" and "I've been telling them to change this from day one." There is a difference between the SIM world and the line. Be prepared.

"Cooperate to graduate" is certainly the name of the game, and getting the CBTs out of the way ASAP to focus more on the test-focused content in YIP would be my recommendation. I've found the old Doc Donaldson YouTube video to be a useful resource to help digest the glut of information in a more pilot-friendly presentation after the fact (less the systems specific to freighters, of course).

I noticed this message board has been very quiet as of late, could it be because this place has become a dumpster fire with almost 80 people leaving? It's only March look out.
