1. The manuals are garbage, total FUBAR.
2. You only get 4 sims, still not sure how the FAA bought off on that one.
3. Most of ground school is taught by kids that have never flown a jet let alone an Airbus.
4. The home study course is so out of date most instructors will say "yeah just disregard that section." Yet that is the only look at systems you will get.
5. The flows aren't really flows as in they don't flow. Basically memorized checklists.
6. All the training is in the left seat, one session in the right seat is all you get before OE.
7. Spirit is one of the last airlines to not utilize AQP, probably cause they would actually have to pay for another sim session if they went to it.
8. The water training is conducted at the YMCA in the hood.
Enjoy!
