Unless your company has specific instructions, wear whatever is comfortable.

By the way, which hotel are you at, and do you need food recommendations?

Hard 8. Gotta go to the Hard 8!
Get the Poppers!
Oh yea, Poppers!
And beans!
That's what I'm talking about!
Beans gots jalapeños in them.
Come on June recurrencey!

Kakhis and a polo shirt. Good luck!

FIFY - we're no longer in the 1990s.

Which airplane?

Beechjet

Some of the classrooms tend to be on the cold side so I'd bring a light sweater if you tend to get cold. Also makes a nice pillow during performance.

Ground school is scheduled from 0900-1800 though depending on day, instructor, and class size/engagement level the end time can be variable. There's typically a day break between ground and sims.

Sims run six 4-hour blocks, with the "A" slot being an 0630 brief for an 0730 sim; "B" 1030 brief, 1130 sim; "C" 1430/1530; "D" 1830/1930; "E" 2230/2330; and the dreaded "F" 0230/0330. I can't imagine the 35 being too busy honestly, so you'll probably have decent timing.

FWIW, I'm in the busiest program in the building and unless a sim goes down we very, very rarely do E's or F's, I can't imagine the 35 needing to do them.

Which program are you in?

 

[esa17]

2-10. My pic upgrade class consisted of myself and one other. Being it's a 35 SIC I'm willing to bet your class will be small.

It will be a small class, 4 people max.

Enjoy Arno. :/

We had one empty seat in my last recurrent and he was a no show.
Class was full.

How difficult is it to get into the supporting crewmember program?

I’ve been calling training/HR department and applied but no call back or email. I am a CRJ driver in Dallas looking for a change and I think the right seat program would be a great fit.

Yeah, but most chief pilots or people you'll meet in more desirable airplanes are stuck in the 70's-90's, so to make a good impression, dress appropriately.

Just friendly advice...

Yup... If you show up to the training center in your untucked skinny shirt and Jeans with bedazzled pockets you're probably gonna be stuck in that Lear for a looooong time bro!

They're changing it at the DFW center. Don't expect anything until after the first of the year. They're going to start paying you $50 per session for right seating, in addition to the free type after however many sessions. I'll get you in touch with the guy in charge if you want.
