Have you guys seen any virtual classes get postponed yet?
I ask because as soon as I get my call for a class date, I’m immediately putting in my two weeks at my current job. It’s a really good job though so I don’t want to quit and then two days before my class date I find out that the class gets postponed

Oof maybe just wait for the academy to reopen and bank money till then.
I would wait to quit. When I got the call with the date, it was 3 weeks until onboarding then 1 month until the class actually started.

Oh really? I thought on boarding was just what they called the first day of online classes.
leads me to a couple questions I hope you can answer then:
1. what exactly is on boarding?
2. Did you get paid between the time you on boarded and your first class? Or does pay not start until day 1 of classes

It’s when your sworn in to be a gov employee and do initial hire documents.
you get paid in between.

Ah that’s not bad then. I’m not strapped for cash at all, I just didn’t want to quit my job and then have my on boarding get pushed back a year for whatever reason the faa may have, thus leaving me without a job for a suuper long time

Dude don’t quit your job till you actually start class.

Ok I’ll use all 5 weeks of vacation then quit ?
Not sure how your job works, but my job will send me a check paying me all of my PTO as soon as I quit. If I move to part time though, I have to use it before I switch.

Some states this is required. Others it isn’t. The company policies seem to fall in line with the law.

Received my clearances at the beginning of April and received the call today with the option to virtually onboard for enroute basics beginning July 27th which I accepted.
What was the other option?

Did your HR rep give you one class date option? Someone else on here said their HR rep offered them a class date in September and that was the earliest date they could offer. I received my clearances in June so I’m just curious when I might receive a class date call.

Same. Also onboarding July 27th. Received my clearance on 03/13/2020 though.
I was only given one option. My HR rep said they’re not scheduling any thing past the end of July. However, if corona gets worse then they will continue on with scheduling into August and so on, but for now they’re waiting to see how it all plays out.

Congrats Jenkins156.
I also was only given the option of July 27th or wait until a physical date at the academy which I’m told there isn’t a current date to reopen.

3 hours. And I've seen between 3-4 weeks after onboarding.

Do you get paid 8hrs every weekday from the time between onboarding and the start of basics?
