Better follow Ted’s advice in his email and get everyone you know to message their law makers about supporting the merger so we can at least get that much… woe be unto us if this doesn’t go through.
Don’t worry. I’m sure if the JB merger doesn’t go through, at some point we will sell everything for dollars. Your wish is coming. It will just be quicker with the JCBA.

As opposed to selling everything for wampum or pelts?

Can you sell things with rent a center stickers on them?

Probably not till after the merger. Definitely not a priority in the training department.

Does anyone know how long training takes if you're a type rated applicant? Ground schools, sim, OE, etc..?

I know they have added an additional FFS and FTD sim to the curriculum since I went through last year but the footprint should still be under 60 days.

Makes no difference if you already have the type.

I'm supposed to start training next month but reading some of this makes me somewhat nervous, especially as a recent CFI with barely over 1500 hours who just got off IOE at my regional. My regional also has a supposedly hard training program and I fortunately got through unscathed, and I got all the study material and am starting to go through that, but nonetheless some of these posts don't really inspire confidence...

I start soon as well-

There is a post in the first few pages that is super detailed about what to study. Know the flows, limitations, and the 5 memory items for sure. I am using the a320 app for the flows- once unlocked for 40 bucks it has the NK flows and has flash cards for limitations.
