That’s awesome. I’m in the same boat. Did you come in with the written done? Are they giving you any special training?

Just flew with a new person who had very little experience and they changed the altitude from what we were given on decent to 5k below what we were cleared for and they said nothing. When I fixed the situation they said they didn’t think ATC would have made a bid deal about it. If you’re new and have very little experience, be humble and cautious. It’s the best way to learn without causing massive problems.

Yeah. Anybody can misunderstand a clearance - that’s part of being human - but either willfully descending a mile below where you are supposed to be or thinking that accidentally doing so is no big deal… that’s a little scary right there. Hopefully they got that explained to them - in words of one syllable if that’s what it took. Nor would some feedback to professional standards be amiss.

ATP written done. As far as I know, no special treatment for me. I know I’m coming in with less experience and I’m going to have to work double time to take advantage of this opportunity.

Two people in my CTP class were only CFIs going to Spirit, but they were teaching rotor transition at a flight school. Spirit came to hire the RTP guys, and by chance, also decided to interview some of the CFIs, give them CJOs, and pay for their CTP/written. They said they were the last two to get in that way though. I'm in regional training right now but my app is out (written complete only), hoping to catch recruiters at a career fair or mtc to get their attention.

Anyone with less than 1000 hours turbine is low time in my book.
