I can't remember the rest but...

Today wasn't too bad of a day. Woke up and got ready, class at 8. I'm starting to get to know some of the people in class, all of them seem really cool. Memorizing names is a little farther off yet, but it'll come in time. Hopefully.

Class started with a review of our homework, and then a greeting by the Director of Training. Nice guy, but holy cow. He laid it all on the line for us. Basically told us that if we studied our @$$es off these next few weeks we'd be fine, but if not, we're screwed. Andy, our groundschool instructor, gave a powerpoint presentation on company Standard Operating Procedures, and that basically lasted from about 9:30 to 11:45 when we went to lunch. It was a nice day today, (97 degrees, but no humidity) so we ate our lunches outside. When we came back, we had a presentation by a representative of SkyWest Airlines Pilot's Association (SAPA). It's basically our union, though we do not have an official union, nor do we have a pilot contract. I think that's one thing that makes this airline great is that even with no union and no contract, managment and the pilots still get along great. We then had a briefing from the Cnadlewood Suites, which is the hotel where we're staying. It was mostly a "hello" kind of thing, since we're going to be living here for the next 3 and 1/2 weeks. After that the rest of the time was spent getting fitted for uniforms. That took awhile, but in the end, and $300 later, I was fully equipped. Once we were all done doing uniforms, we were free to leave because class was done with at this point, but we all chose to stay and get the homework done collectively. It was a rather large assignment, even bigger than last night, but with 23 of us working on it, it was done in about an hour and a half. Tonight we're doing a little study group in one of the rooms at eight. It being almost six now, that gives me time to eat, go over limitations again, and start memorizing flows. (the order in which you push various buttons and other things when starting engines, taking off, landing, etc.) Fun, fun, fun!
