Awesome. Thank you. The info provided in the welcome packets discuss all of this info and includes being able to fly a basic flight profile on the sim device in a briefing room, navigate the iPad, and use the standard e-tools common for all United pilots. I'm mostly surprised by the apparent lack of knowledge test requirement common in the other carriers like Delta and FedEx.
