Training Question with USX

Good questions. they will put you together for the eight weeks for sure. If one of you finishes first they "may" send you out solo until the other is done or you may wait. I would suspect it will depend on how close to finishing the other is. I have seen them do this to a couple of married teams.

 

My wife had to wait a day for me

 

No they got her a room at the baymont inn near tunnel hill & she waited for me there

 

Sometimes students that start together finish weeks apart. My training took 3 weeks. My partner took closer to 5 after waiting around and just going slower. Talked to plenty of people who took 6+ weeks for training due to breakdown or lazy trainers. Being sent out on your own solo and waiting to hook up with partner is likely I'd say, that's what happened to me with my friend I joined with at the same time to team with. Don't expect your training cooridinator to be ANY HELP AT ALL IN ANY SITUATION. You need to be proactive. Make sure things are going as they should be. When you're almost done with training, make sure they know you need to meet with your wife. Don't be afraid to tell them and your dispatcher constantly. My first FM never remembered or cared about any issue I had, so if you do go solo first, tell that guy every day, "Hey, gotta meet up with my wife" when she's done or close to done with training.

Just a heads up, lol. Training is going to suck. It's a total cluster #### at USX. You're not going to know whats going on day to day, and they won't have anything planned either.

 

Id suggest just surviving and getting through your training. Your gonna pick up what you need a long the way, but chances for finding a good trainer at Usx are slim.

 

When are you going to start training?
