Fly over or fly by? Or are you trying to offset
Neither, I want it to show fixes abeam their position when given a new clearance direct ABC waypoint/vor/airport

The UNS manuals can be downloaded from the flight training page if you don't have them already. Might find a more detailed explanation in there
Thanks, i'll check there I don't remember seeing the UNS manuals online.

Going to take like a month to disassemble and remove the DH8 sim and then the 145 sim will start immediately there after. About a month to install and assemble. 2+ months from now sounds like for the CLT 145 sim to be up and running.

The iPads were distributed in 2016 (check web-site) - they just left you out

Pretty sure there are a handful of pilots flying the line right now with iPads in what is hopefully the final evaluation phase before everybody gets theirs.

The short answer: "soon!"

Default How long is "a few weeks"?

So you start with PDT and are told your training is delayed "a few weeks".

Is that 2 weeks, 3 or more? What would be the average time after finishing week 1 and returning to the premises?

Also, what is done in the first week? Induction? Meet and Greet? Is there any technical stuff on the aircraft?

Enjoy your time off with flight benefits... plenty of time in your future to grind away on the line away from home and family.

Default CJO

Just got the email today and received a CJO for the march class. I was told that there was only one more spot when I talked to her today at 9AM. I suspect that spot has been taken by now. I interviewed yesterday with 7 other candidates and we were all told before the panel interview that we would be receiving emails/calls regarding a decision. They were not clear regarding the time frame between indoc and returning to ground. Personally, I don't think they really know so they don't want to give us an answer we can hold them to. The experience was pleasant and the gouges were pretty spot on. Looked like a good group of guys who came out to interview but not sure of how they panned out as I was the first to interview. Looking forward to it!
