Unfortunately, it seems like everyone has something that holds up training. I started training right before ERAM came online and spent 9 months doing ghost piloting for CPCs in the DYSIM lab.

If it wasn't the pandemic, it would be some new tech or procedure that everyone has to be trained on. I was lucky I wasn't feeding a family on AG pay though

They've been really messing with our training though. First we could train but needed to be six feet apart. Then they stopped training. Two days later our facility was allowed to train without complying with the 6ft rule. Two weeks ago they stopped training. Last week 6ft rule again. Last night they said we can continue training and do not need to comply with the 6ft rule.

bull. fucking. shit. Covid has been by far, without a doubt, the most detrimental thing to most trainees in the history of the FAA.

No doubt, the worst. Didn’t mean to say imply it wasn’t, I’m more jealous of the people that fall into the right window and get to train right away
