”121” is overblown nonsense. The job is leisurely and easy. Between consulting with your instructors and reading the FOM, you can do it in a month reading 20 pages a night, you ought to have a very good idea of what is meant by certain phrases.
The instructors are very knowledgeable on the airbus, no doubt. His critique on the lack of indoc and general subjects relating to 121 is spot on. Someone clicking through a slideshow for 30 minutes really glosses over the nuances of 121 Regs.
