You will probably get sent home after indoc for 4-6 weeks. Then you'll come back for systems-qpt and hopefully go right to sims. PM me your email. I'll send you all my notes for systems as well as some other stuff I have.

I have friend like that.

(don't look at my username please)

I'm in the same boat! March class, my "friend" is eager to get going, sitting around in wintertime is bad, scale and rust build up.

Does anyone have any positive, 1st hand information as to the EFB timeline here?
Yes, I have read all the stories about piles of iPads in CLT, in a hangar at SBY, etc.

Why did it take that long for benefits to kick in? I'm just curious as I need to have the benefits for the family.
