did they need 12? i figured that they were just taking whoever they thought was good and would fill the subsequent classes with the next two weekends of interviews

yea, i knew that our interview group was for the 16th, but i didn't know they had an exact number, i thought they said somewhere around 10-12; and then took 11. i don't know, all i know is we're in the first class.

did sara say anything about timing of when the paperwork with all the training details would be sent out?

She just told me that the offer letters weren't going to go out until the end of the week. All the other paperwork will probably be attached to it

NO NO NO!!!

Rule #1 for working at an airline- Do not ever learn or memorize anything that was not given to you by the company. Every Saab operator uses different numbers and has different limitations for the aircraft. Do not even use old Colgan Saab books because those numbers have changed as well

Learning outside numbers and limitations is not only a waste of time but will drill those numbers into your head.

So what would you suggest? Do you think it would be alright to study the systems and not the limitations. Or say the hell with it and just relax until I get to class?
