Friend stopped by and asked a couple of questions. Indoc is 4/2, 4/2. First couple of days(2?) with wife. Nice hotel.

Day 1(??) is when equipment is offered.

GS training is the same for everyone, 8-12 days GS, 10 sims(last 2 checks).

AB is 'distance learning'. Study at home with online system, get several day review/pump up in DFW, and off to sims you go. Distance learning is coming to all fleets in the future.

757/767 school is tough. Basic airplane makes sense BUT there are tons of differences. 737 has a couple of differences, HUD, interior, but it's much less than the 757/767. 757/767 has three airframes, three engines, two different FMC's, two instrument panels, ER or just overwater, and keeping track of the various combinations in GS kills brain cells. But it's great flying.
