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?
Once you’re in training try to team up with some previous 121 pilots and they can help you with all the 121 stuff. I’d imagine everything up to pushing back can be confusing as you can’t visualize where you are in the process before pushback. Talking to the tug driver then to ramp. When to call for checklists. FA shutting the door then triggering a checklist and ramp call. Then of course bidding and using FLICA which is for your schedule.
