Anybody know where initial training for colgan is done? For the ground portion and sim. Anything you can add to the effect of how the training takes place? Im still stuck at "open your books to page one... begin reading!" Am I missing some stuff?

No... thats kinda how training was done at CJC when I went through.... here are the books... instructor hit on the really really important stuff but we had to fend for ourselves on the rest of it.... welcome to the world of flying people, gelled hair, ipods, ray bans, and backpacks!

Initial training takes place at "Colgan World Headquarters" in Memphis, TN.
Unless much has changed, this is what you can expect:
** 1 day of orientation (generic company stuff, badge photos, review of alcohol/drug policy, review of sexual harassment policy, payroll, scheduling, uniform measuring, etc...A very full and BORING day).
**2 weeks of basic indoctrination topics (121 regs, weather, special airports/procedures, dispatching, safety, security, hazmat,etc...Some of this is very interesting and the rest is downright BORING)
**2 days of CRM/TEM
**2 weeks of aircraft systems, followed by the oral portion of your initial proficiency check
**2 weeks of simulator training (8 sim sessions, 3 normal, 5 abnormal, loft, pc) Each sim session builds upon the last with the idea to be proficient to pass checkride. You will also do a CPT before normal and abnormal procedures are introduced. This is SAAB training I am describing, the Q differs because of more automation and the "box" (FMS). So, they have a much different syllabus I am sure.
**25-50 hours of I.O.E depending on your flight times. Upon completion of I.O.E. You will be receiving your initial line check and then "enrolled" as a proud member of the "Pilot Monitoring Program" until you have 75 hours (I think? Green on Green is 75, so correct me if I am wrong here) in model. You also are required to complete COT (Consolidation of Training; 100 hours in 90-days since completion of your initial PC). However, COT can be completed after IOE with a line Captain. If you don't complete COT in the prescribed time, then you get to go back to the sim for another PC!
There it is in a nutshell...
Back to regularly scheduled programming...

I believe everyone is now in the PMP their entire first year at the company. This is the very earliest anyone can get out of it.
