Boeing is all AQP, so you have specific “gates” that you can focus on, whereas the Airbus isn’t so you’re studying for the oral as well as practicing call outs/flows at the same time. Not that hard, but it was certainly a huge benefit during 737 training to be done with the “oral” (multiple choice test) and to solely focus on procedures and then sim.

Airbus training has you bouncing around as well. We started in SEA for indoc, went to SFO for systems/procedures and then MIA for sim. For Boeing training, I stayed in SEA the whole time. Much easier to plan trips home that way.

As others have said, training is great here. All my instructors (Airbus and Boeing) were fantastic and the company really bends over backwards to give you the support you need. They aren’t here to wash anyone out, they really do want to see everyone succeed.
