We had a full size cockpit “built” in my room out of pvc pipe and styrofoam and we sat in front of it for hours every day running flows and quizzing each other on systems. That should be your week 2.

Also, make friends with guys in the class ahead of you. They’ll pass along “important info” of how things are going and what needs to be focused on at the time (aka, “the gouge”).

Ask questions, put forth the effort, have a good attitude, and you won’t have issues. Most of the “problem” instructors in the training department have departed. It’s mostly a good group of guys. I’m definitely not saying it will be easy, but if I can get through it, any window licker can.

Week 4 4 SIMs, MV, EET, Int’l GS
Week 5 3 LOFTs, OKE/LOE

Roughly the sequence… Always some slight changes do to the amount of CQ and upgrade training that’s happening at the same time.

This is for the -400 new hires

Thanks Palmtree and PuckHawg

I received access to the CBT’s on Monday afternoon this week. So I’m trying to run through them, taking notes and hopefully finish them by Friday. Hopefully retaining the info. as well. I also received paper tigers and flight profiles with call outs. I’m assuming we’ll all get books, memorization items and limitations next week during indoc.?
