By the time you hit the checking events, you are overprepared. They could cut the footprint in half and people would still pass.
Obviously, take training seriously, but it's totally different than let's say regional airline training is.
Its so good to hear that, the firehose treatment is really bad. Is there anything you would recommend I look at for the 747 with regards to flows, profiles, call outs etc? I realize it has been said there is enough time when you get there but just wondering if it’s worth getting a head start.
As far as selection of the aircraft you want to fly, how accommodating are they? Ideally I want the 747 first followed by the 777 but could they turn around and just say we want you on the 737 or 767? Not the end of the world I guess as you can change in 18 months I believe but I presume don’t say in an interview that ‘You won’t accept the 767 or 737’
Thanks for the help.
