Heya,

So I'm going into my 4th week of training and its been great so far! All the guys in my training classes are really great and making a bunch of friends. The first 2 weeks of training have been company indoctrination stuff. It's pretty interesting learning about the airline's operations. Right now I'm in the middle of systems training for the CRJ900. The training is going super well and its all computer based by Bombardier.

I am staying in a wicked Hotel out here in Minneapolis! The rooms are suites and pretty complete with whatever i need. Plus, I can see the TV from every single spot in my room..even from the bathroom! The continental breakfasts are pretty decent and 3 days out of the week we get complimentary dinners. So not having to spend much on food!

Right now, we're all waiting to hear what our simulator schedule is going to be.. Some of us will be delayed and some our going into it next week right away. I'm either going to be in Denver or Montreal for the sim training. Anyways, I posted some pictures of my hotel room, the airplane, and me studying!

Ok! So back on this blog thing again.

So, I have officially finished my work in Squamish, BC. I really enjoyed my work experience and feel I improved myself as a pilot and flight instructor. I will always remember my flights throughout the mountains and the unbelievable scenery. One of the best parts about the job was the friends I made. It will be great to come back for visits!

As of right now I'm sitting in my parents place in Lynden. Next Sunday, I am jumping on a plane going to Minneapolis to start my new career! Yep, off to the airlines for me.. I am really stoked because I am going to be trained on the CRJ900. Whenever I get the chance, I will post whats new with my training and where I'm at!
