ASA Training...

Just looking to get some info on the training at ASA. I am in the 2-25 class, and just kinda looking for some info on what to expect. Kinda the whole process like a little play by play of what goes on.

So any info you could give me would be great.

great. . .years on reserve. . .on the 700.

Nevertheless, 50 seat flying is not cost effective anymore. . .at least not coming out of a -200.

The reserve is so long, no new-hire in their right mind would bid to sit on reserve for a year minimum. ... but then again, I know some guys who did bid it.. on purpose.
