Do the CD first, do nothing for a couple days, and then maybe start hitting the procesures. YMMV.
I'm sorry, but that's bad advice. I know you have to do the CD, but it's really a waste of time, getting ground school from a CD on an airplane you have never seen before. You need LOD and Flows down day 1. I remember as a new hire showing up day 1 to FTD and didn't know much of any flows. I got ripped a new one. The way Delta has set up their training you need to show up a little prepared.
