with regards to training....it is a welcome break from the line and a little short of vacation. I hear the sUAL guys complaining about the 737 training. It's a joke. No you are not being patted on the back for knowing whatever that alternate flaps thing does, or the standby power check. an ILS is an ILS. Park jet go home drink beer and talk about something else. Truly a joke. They can take the 6 weeks and make it 3, but some guys want 12 weeks. I went out every other night...should have went out every night.....meanwhile back in the crew room you will stand there listening to your CA mentoring about the weather between LAX and SFO. You are going anyway........but I digress..
