Do you always wonder why people waste everyones time? Like our trainee who

was literally still in her final probation days says she is leaving for the

road (previous thread, no need to bring it up again). I guess at least that

new hire didnt wait any longer, huh.... good luck....... and sorry, I moved

OUT of the northeast... not coming back

Ours is 3-4 weeks classroom. 40 days each for calltaking and fire dispatch,

and 80 days pd dispatch.. with the possibility of 1 extension each of half

the number of days.. this is a new policy since about March.
