Pro instructors are coming in on their days off and working after hours to help get students through, I can't believe what some of these guys are doing to help off the clock. We had a Pro event from 7:30am until 1:30pm then flipped to a 2am show for a 4-8am event.....12hrs off
to go over the last event, study for the next, and "Rest". It was a total waste of time.
Dry erase board, 4 colored markers and a wooden Indian in a Swiss Air classroom in Zurich were all the MD11 resources I had available in '97. Our LMS/CMI/CBT (whatever we called it then) had been decertified by the FAA, and I had to do all of Swiss Air's, about 60-70 hrs worth, including fast clicking through the entertainment systems and FA stations.
