yeah.. it will take more than a week to get it ready. more like a month or so. not only is the install but all the checks, recert by the FAA, etc.

The sim that my last company bought took a little over 2 months to get assembled and operating so the FAA could inspect it. It is usually a long and slow process. There are literally thousands and thousands of little details that need to be checked.

Really? I never thought it would be that long.

Naively assumed it would be more like:

"Take Part A. Glue to Part B. Plug in, turn on, check big wobbly bits wobble correctly. Start Training".

Your talking about that Airline that still can't get Ipad's online yet!!! We seem to think we have to reinvent the wheel on everything, somit usally takes an additional 4-5 years to do the simplest task!!!

I figure I will post this here instead of starting a new thread. Is anyone here familiar with Piedmont's Cadet Program? My understanding is that it is something that you apply for prior to applying to somewhere like ATP Flight School. Is that correct?

No, you have to be a flight instructor at one of the partnered schools. If you are just starting training, you are not eligible for the program.

So I'm kind of confused about this new bid that just came out.

They're cutting the dash lines in Philly and are going to be displacing people.
But literally two weeks ago they send that email about expanding the dash flying and wanting people to voluntarily move from the jet to fly it.
What gives?

I'm guessing since now AWAC will be gone in Feb. 2018 they are going to have to get the RJ fleet up as a priority. Just sit back and enjoy the ride!

No expansion of Dash flying; just trying to get the staffing right for the typically busier summer season.
