If you need more time to study, it's cool keep us updated. Had been at Delta 3 days and the Fleet Captain sent me home, with pay, for as long as we needed. I figured I was being paid to study.

Return from Mil leave.. Sat NQAT (no qual awaiting training) for 6 months. Swapped aircraft for CA upgrade, was getting full pay to sit on ass on my couch. I managed to break collarbone, have it fixed, heal, and still hadn't had to call out sick. I studied the 320 stuff when I was stuck on the couch with my shoulder mummified.

But any studying for CQ or in my case going back to the 757? I just read that in cruise.
