I appreciate any advice or response.
Training dept there is quite good. If they still give out that pre class study guide you will need to know that cold before showing up. Other than that while in class be sure to take notes and study at the hotel and you will do fine. They give a very thorough review prior to the systems test. I forget how much sim time there was exactly but I think it was around 34 hours. I spent about 10 days in SEA.
The hardest part is probably IOE. When I was there I was given one 4 day trip for my IOE. I did fine but my first trips afterwards were with the guy who wrote the SOPs and two of the most senior captains in the company. Yeah, I probably could've used some more mentoring from a senior captain before getting thrown to the wolves!
