The biggest hurdle for the new hire is letting go of their past training experience. The Omni training format is in parallel with how Boeing teaches. The aircraft manuals are set up the same way. You have to look for things in several different manuals and it doesn't make sense. There are many company manuals because of the environment the airline operates that also need to added into the mix. Those that study and learn their way around the manuals find that all the questions and confusion get sorted out in the FDT portion of training. Those that have poor study habits or need to be spoon feed everything will have a hard time with the training. It's not a regional airline. It's a widebody, on demand, international operation. Low experience or lazy will probably not get through the training program.
