Class question?

Hey, A question for you guys who have started class lately. How long does it take? I have been told 10 weeks and 8 weeks? I Got my class packet yesterday but it didn't really give any information except when and where to show up. Thanks.

It seems to depend on which airplane you get. In was hired into the back of the DC10 and I started in early July and finished IOE in late september. The 727 guys in my class finished about three weeks earlier. Welcome aboard!!!

Second Interview

I interviewed with FedEx and UPS. Made it into the UPS pool, but FedEx said "no thanks" after the sim/interview last spring.

I am waiting (and don't know for how long) for a class with UPS but would be just as happy if FedEx would give me a second chance.

Anyone out there know the key to getting called back a second time? I have several old and new references in the online system. Any good ideas would be appreciated.

The DC10 guys get a weeks off after ground school. You will also get a week off after IOE. If you have a choice I strongly suggest the 10. The training is easier and the job and schedules are much better. I've been on the airplane for six months now and I've done about 70% day flying and the 30% night.
