I have spoken with many guys and gals at the majors who said Compass training was nothing more than a wash out machine.......go to Compass, and never get hired any where else.
We were told on orientation day before we were sent home for cbts to know everything before we come back and essentially that's somewhat true. They want you to show up knowing the GOS quiz 100%, basic systems knowledge, all your flows and memory items, and an idea of the procedures. They want to spend the time to teach you how to fly a new airplane/fms, not hold your hand while you try to remember 1 out 10 memory items.
If you know memory items verbatim, flows and call outs, all the sopa/smac scripts going into class you should be sitting pretty. I'm guessing the ones with trouble are assuming this is like sophomore year at [insert 141 college] and they'll be taught everything. Nope, we ain't got money for a good scheduling software we ain't spending it on training 23 year olds.
