Comments

  • 12 month training contract, prorated if you leave early (2/28/08)
  • Upgrade on the CRJ is running 3.5 years because of holdbacks and cancelled classes due to heavy FO attrition. (11/14/07)
  • You have to pay for your own hotel (09/02/07)
  • If you do the full interview in PHX, stay at the Radisson where the interview is held, it\'s just easier (09/11/07)
  • Travel to PHX is standby so give yourself several flight options to get there
  • IAD and ORD are junior bases, you can probably expect one of those
  • Written is easy if you study- ATP Gleim regulation section, weather, dispatcher, NTSB, Instrument procedures
