Well there you go. They haven't been doing it since I've been here, but they've also been running a lot fewer Basics classes.

Tower classes tend to do this. They'll start as a big group for the initial academics, then split into two and switch off days and nights on a weekly basis. For En Route, it's more random when you'll get put on nights; we end up being nights for three weeks total but it's not alternating. I have no idea what RTF does.

Again, just from my experience while I'm here.

They'll tell you once you begin the initial (not Basics) class when you'll be on nights, so you can still do some planning if you've got someone coming to visit or whatever. They won't just spring it on you.

Do we still get the night diff 10% after 6 PM?

That's a good question... Everything else applies.

I just wonder if it's not covered because we are in a "training class" and not working.

The FAA is an excepted agency so not sure. I received night differential asa TEMP for the IRS.
