Training is 6 days a week, 8 am to 6 pm. There might be a few down days as you tranistion from one subject to another, but they try to keep you going as much as possible.

Even with that agressive of a training schedule, the footprint seems to be running about 6ish weeks right now to get to IOE.

From the horses mouth: 4 - 5 weeks in FLL for indoc/systems. 10 days to 2 weeks in Orlando for full motion.

I wasn't told about the number of days a week though. 6 days a week can get counter productive. Did you experience that, or get it from someone who did?

Thanks ctab. I assume the hotel is paid for even if there's a day off. Doesn't sound like its possible to go home anytime during the training. Do you know if the medical benefits start right away? Sorry for the twenty questions!!

I think the more questions the better on this thread. Probably the reason it's already as long as it is. A virtually brand new op. Very little info out there.

All new hires are going through the 6 on/1 off schedule. The 6 days a week isn't nearly as counterproductive as the 8-6 schedule for 6 straight days. By day 6, you are dragging.

Not sure about the medical as I don't have insurance through Silver, but there is very little time off to go anywhere during training. Some guys flew their wife in for a couple of days.

The hotel is paid for the entire time you are in training. It will become your home away from home.

Thanks. I just wanted to know to if the Saab 340 FO position is still open. I live local in FLL. Also do they pay while in training? Also are they hiring B1900 FO`s for Florida as well? Thanks
