Wow 34 and 24 people in the classes that is alot and out of the FAA norm. They are really trying to make those numbers look good for congress and the public. I have never had a class at the FAA over 20 people and only had 20 once. It has always been 15-18 and I have been to 8 classes up there. Luckily only one of the classes has been nights, but it was actually nicer, no suits around!!! I can't believe they are juggling classes around like that though between day and night and so forth. I haven't ever heard of that either until now. Usually you would only have a day or a night class for the entire time. I suppose they are trying to get all the scheduling in on the equipment with the amount of people they have. ARE THEY PAYING THE "NIGHT DIFFERENTIAL" FOR HAVING TO WORK PAST 6:00 P.M.? I know in the Tech Ops side they don't pay it while you are at the academy, but I don't know about Air Traffic.
