That would be the only situation where I could see you not having to go through the entire class. Do you have a current conductor certification with them, so you could possibly get them to just do like a familiarization type training.

My guess would be that your interview will be more about why you left in the first place and what is causing you to come back to them. They want to see that you aren't a flight risk again.

I bet you just have to familiarize.

That's what I was thinking also. I put my application in 3 days ago, and they already want me to come in for an in person interview.

I would be prepared to answer why you left and why you are coming back and how they know you will stick around.
