|  After 2 months I'm back
Sooooo I finally got done with training at Republic and man I'm I glad to done. I was in STL at Flight Safety for 4.5 weeks with indoc and systems (all done by FSI). When I first started I was thinking about the road ahead and what I gave up to come here, that I was thinking (briefly) about leaving and going back to CJC. It was hard to give up being #1 in my home, but after all was said and done I am very happy now. I had 17 days off between systems and sim and loved the time off. People wanted to jump right in but I was more than happy to get paid to relax and let everything absorb into my head that I just learned (not to mention it gave lots of time with the girlfriend). Got lucky with sims cause I had a partner who knew what he was doing (Pinnacle guy), an experience instructor (worked at Higher Power for some time) and somehow got the 3pm-7pm sim slot. We had 8 sim sessions plus a checkride and loft. Didn't have any problems and learned a lot. The 170 is a very user friendly airplane and while I didn't care about the plane when I got hired, I'm excited to get out there and fly it now. I start IOE saturday in DCA, though my base is PHL. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes and I'll take some pics for ya.

Congrats! I, unlike you, unfortunately only had 1 day off between systems and sim. After the LOFT, I had 3 days to get from STL up to Buffalo for IOE. I was glad though to get it all overwith. Congrats again, and welcome to the company!
