He goes to sim for one lesson then goes back home for 3or 4 days,goes back for another session or two,then back home again. I dont see how they expect proficiency while they are doing that.Sounds like poor planning to me,but go ahead and blow it off as growing pains. Alot of guys i know wont go to pdt because of their arcadic pratices and procedures. The new millennium pilot dosent want to live and work like its 1984.
I guess they need to change mgmt or their way of thinking or both .idk.
Come for the quickest flow

Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha!

Dude. You ain't in bad hands at PDT. Believe me. There's a lot of worse places to be. Just bc something didn't go 100% as your friend planned. Right now you're very fortunate to be here.

Just to clear up all of these posts for someone who might be looking for a concise answer:

Most new hires in the sim right now appear to be from the January class, but there are also a few Feb new hires in the box. Results may vary, must enter to win.

without knowing your new millenium pilot buddy's background, we can't tell if it is him or the program. We do have issues occasionally with vunderkids and how to run QRC and normal challenge response etc. but I'm sure it's just the program.

About guys not going to pdt. Those guys that wouldn't go because of not having a magenta line to follow reallyhelped us out with seeing the potential here and making an investment that is already paying off
About the only thing you can do with an old dog that wont hunt anymore is shoot it 😁🤣🤤😲

So what do you do with a dog that barks too much and spouts a bunch of 💩?

All you guys that are complaining about sitting at home. Put down the remote, get outside, enjoy life. Jump over to Dublin and drown yourself in a pub for a couple of days, gobdown to the islands and look at actual real live girls and enjoy social interaction, who gives a flying duck if sims are backed up. Enjoy the free time, will be the last time you ever have free time with free travel together!!! Use it!!!

Uhhhh,from what i was told,pdt dosent work like that once youre in the sim .
You have to be available within a 24-48 hr notice. They may call you on monday and say hey there's an opening in stl Wed at 4am,you need to be there.So if youre in Dublin throwing back cold ones with some lets say "loose" women, and cant get back then what?
You will be telling the cp "what had happened was" lmao !!!
Remember, this is pdt we are talking about lol

I went everywhere while waiting for both my sim slots. If you're a May class and March guys are in the sim.... my bags are already packed.

But I guess sitting at home and complaining about paid time off on APC is just as fun
