Hell Week

Hell week, or week 3 as the instructors call it, is over! Tests every day for a week. And I aced all of them! Im not normally cocky but this is what I was ment to do. I am damn good at my job, I pay attention, and I work hard in class.
We got to go through a decompression, and we got to jump down the slide that comes out of the airplane, and went to the pool for a raft drill.  Long long week but its done! All thats left is one test on Monday (tomorrow) and OE on the 8th. I get almost a 3 day weekend this upcoming weekend. I get done Friday at 1 and then show up for my OE 6am next Monday morning. I am so excited for my OE. I am going with my Joann. We are going to DTW (Detriot MI) the layover is only an hour so no time to explore, just work. But when I get back that night Jere and my Mom will be waiting for me. So yey!
Here are some pictures from this week.

Yes I got philly as my base! I am actually so so so excited. So many opportunities to go to Europe!
I have started looking for houses to buy and Jeremy is looking for jobs. I am so excited about the east coast. I just cant wait to finish training and get out on the line!

Week 1

With week one almost over I think its time for an update! So far everything is just a review for me. 2nd airline training in 4 months. Rocked my first 2 tests with 100%s so im feeling pretty good. Monday-Thursday  class was from 7am till almost 6 every night, now that they have split the class in 2 (because we have 75 in out class) the group I am in gets to start at 1030 and get out between 8 and 9ish. But thats ok I am a night owl and I like sleeping in.
We get to play in actual trainers! Love them they can simulate any sort of emergency, like fire and smoke in the cabin. Also we get to go down the inflatable plane slide in week 3 and do water emergencies.
We also found out that today that getting PHX is very unlikely. A lot of other people from the first group are thinking about leaving the program because they cant get PHX. We our bids in for the bases and mine went:
1. PHX
2. PHL
3. DCA
4. CLT

Who knows what will happen with all these transfers coming in. But If i cant have PHX I really want PHL because they do so many European trips, more then any other base. How amazing would it be to go to Paris, or Italy for a weekend, and get paid for it! Gah I love my job. But I also cant wait until Jere and I can live together.
