It's a 2 week process down in Jacksonville FL. You work the call center for them on 8 hour shifts the whole time. It consists of a SIM eval and then 2 flying evals. one in the cessna and one in the seminole.

They call you to give you a starting class. Then send you the links to print out all the paperwork and access the forums. Classes start on tuesdays. You show up the day before try to find someone that can tell you where you'll be sleeping that night. Hopefully when you arrive their wont be bags of trash everywhere And dirty dishes. No Internet access in the apartments. Just an old tv with rabbit ears and the most uncomfortable mattresses I've ever had to sleep on. I don't want to know how old they are. First day they put on a good show. They act like they are glad to have you, they even get you lunch. Take pics for your badge and one in the CRJ sim. Eventually what you think would be the end of the day, they put you on the phones with a few pieces of paper to figure it all out. Have a question, they tell you to follow the checklist which doesn't answer it. You'll spend most of your time in standardization doing this. Eventually you have a simulator eval, this is when they start trying to bring you down. Get through that and wait for them to schedule flights. Back to the phone. Days you're scheduled to fly, you'll be expected right after on the phones on the other side of town. No communication just wait till your scheduled to fly, then go and expect to be treated like you never learned anything. Any supervisor or superior you have contact with treats you like you are a thorn in their side. . Everyone here has an "I'm better than you" attitude. Just get in, get out. Your presence bothers them. When your finally done getting "standardized" you have story telling time for your out briefing to the point where you don't care where your going, you just hope it's not Jacksonville. After they tell you they expect you there yesterday even if its on the other side of the country. No help getting there either. You will learn the majority of the day to day functions when you are actually sent to a location not in this so called standardization
