If you can get a copy of a textbook Aircarrier Operations, i have found that the material we have to teach you is easier to get into your head if you can visualize some of what the airline and the FAA have to do.
It helps some students understand why we have to teach the subjects that do not seem releavent to airline pilots. It will also give more exposure to the vocabulary that will be used. I know there will be stuff in that book you will not use everyday, but you won't be sitting in class trying to get republic specific material and figuring out how airlines work at the same time.
I agree with what everyone else as said too. This just a little more perspective layer from me. If you tight on cash flow, previous editions of that book will do the job as well.
Here is the isbn.
