    That comment is very negative but true. You always have to look at the good and the bad in everything. But if you're in orientation, they already checked your MVR, background as far as jobs, and criminal record. The only thing left is your physical, road test, paperwork, and classroom time on e-logs and other rules and regs of the company.

    I second this... It's good to have a safety hatch just in case. You most likely won't have to use it, but it's a comfort to know it's there!! I carried both cash, and a CC with enough on it to cover a flight home from the furthest point from home (and I live on the left coast). Didn't need to use it, but it gave me a confidence that I had options.

    I would like to thank people that have put in their 2 cents worth of advice.
    All of it is very helpful, and much of it is very funny.
    Thanks.

    If you don't make it through orientation, most companies will give you a ticket home. They aren.t the monsters people portray them to be.
