No worries there. There are a number of people that don't make it through so when you get study study study...and when you think you have studied enough study somemore. You should have no problem. They have changed the training a little..they have these things called CPT's that are graphic flight display trainers and they are touch screen so you get to work in the cockpit and see how the buttons work rather than sitting in a cardboard box. I believe you have 6 sessions...then you go to the sim 8 lessons then your checkride. Ground school there are approx 6 test 3 of which are spoon feed to you but the others you need to know cold limitations, memory items and systems. Like I said study and you will do fine. Other than that the company is growing fast and you pretty much get the base you ask for...at least that was the case for our class. You should be able to upgrade in about 2 years max. Some, if you have the hours, are upgrading in FO ground school. Well I hope that helps...if you need anymore intel...PM me. See you on the line.

Thanks for the advice. I don't anticipate training being a problem. Here at UND we have to take a CRJ course to graduate, which I am in right now. So I should be a couple of steps ahead when it comes to training but I know the best thing to do is to keep my mouth shut and listen to the instructors because they are the ones that have been on the line. They know what they are talking about so it is in anyones best interest to listen up. Thanks again. See you on the line in a couple of months.
