You need to know your flows, memory items and limitations before coming to training if possible. They start hammering you on flows day one of training. You don't get much time off after class, and there aren't a lot of off days in training. 6-on-1-off-6-on, etc. So if you start behind, you'll struggle to stay up to speed.

You only get 4 simulator sessions before your type ride. You do get I think 12 FTD sessions to get normal procedures down, but you don't begin to cover single engine procedures until day 2 or 3 of sim, by then you're only 1 or 2 sims away from your type ride.

Same goes for captain upgrade - if you didn't know it before training, you still won't know it afterwards.

A lot of the onus is on you to find and learn the material.
