I don't mean that you're expected to know the airplane (that's why they have Systems, which we are currently enduring), but you'd better have a very strong foundation of instrument flying skills and generalized turbine systems knowledge. If you come here and ask "What's a pack?", nobody's gonna be able to help you.
Sooooooooo completely untrue. Ive been thru 3 different airline ground schools,the first one being Great Lakes which is known for being hard. I didnt know hardly anything about turbine systems and I made it thru fine. Ya I studied hard but don't blow things out of proportion. Geez dude. I think someone asked what a pack was in both the jet ground schools I've been thru and those people are now online. You go to ground school to LEARN......weird concept right??
