Orville,

The title of your post is fairly ironic because, like Faux News, it contains virtually nothing factual.

Between ground school and sims there is a fixed base simulator program that is quite extensive. If you haven't learned your flows by the time you reach the full flight simulator YOU are wasting the IP's time and the Company's money.

Anyone willing to invest the personal time and sweat equity to learn the EPs/flows/profiles will not have any problem with the Omni training program. However if you're expecting to sneak through without putting in the effort you're out of luck.

You'd better thank God you didn't come up in the era where they expected you to draw the entire electrical, fuel, hydraulic and pressurization systems from memory during a six (6!) hour systems oral. Your head would have exploded.
