From reading on here memorize the limitations, memory items, & flows in advance, use A320guide.com and 1step.com, trust the A320 system, etc...Is there a degree of on the job training after the Spirit 2 month course since that seems to be a bit shorter than the other courses? Also, I'm leaving the military so while I've not been flying a desk I'm going to be new to the world of the airlines so would there be any other general knowledge and/or technical areas I should study in advance?
Spirit has 4 sims in FLL that are primarily used for new hires. As of last week they are starting to use DFW, MCO and MIA for new hire sim events.
Show up to training having flows, memory items and limitations down 100%.
Indoc is very light here. If you don’t know how 121 operates you will struggle as indoc here is taught by instructors that have never flown the actual airplane or the line. Buddy up with others who have flown 121 and can work through the details with you. As it is being taught now I wouldn’t recommend it for your first 121 training experience.
