The screening process does a pretty good job of ensuring that new-hires are trainable and the training program is designed to give you the help you need to succeed.
-Very much so.
-Yes, AQP.
-I think the hardest course, that a new-hire can get, is the 756 and that only because there are so many variants to learn; 757-200, 757-300, 767-300, and 767-400. Several regional-only pilots in my class took 756, though, and none had any trouble.
-Just be professional. Study. Enjoy the experience.
Thanks for this not that I expected anything else. Starting class June 15th.
So here's the
most important question (
) what's the dress code these days? Still a suit on day one and business casual for the rest of training? I've been out of 121 for 10 years, and it's been 20 years since my last "first day". Or will that all come in a yet to be received email?
Thanks!
