Scambo,

I'm just part of a test to figure out how much they will pay us for training on the new syllabus. Guess they have already done the DC-9 and the A320, now I'm going through the A330 course which takes effect in Dec. They are timing us going through the at home systems course to get an average time then see if we can actually pass the system validation.

I am fighting every professional bone in my body not to do any extra studying. Based on my end of section quizzes, my chance of passing the SV are slim and next to none based on one pass through the course. I'll need to go through the systems again at least once and then the LOD a few times in December to REALLY pass the test, but of course all on my own dime since we will only get paid 1 minute for 3 minutes of what average my group of 5 sets.

Now, if I pass on Thursday.............I'm a headed for Vegas baby, cuz I'll be one lucky dude
