Used to be a booklet, 15 or so pages, front and back. Fill in the blanks...pass 100% or out.

Now it's more like 30 blank spots. However, limits (50 or so), and emergency calls are still pass 100%. Believe it or not some guys don't buy it and they let them go.

Also..it is correct to say that newhire class is about effort and attitude. They want you here and we need you. You have to try to get fired. But about 1 a class test that theory and does get fired.

Systems test is pass by 80%. Study and pay attention and it's easy.

Finally..there is NO instrument training. This may seem obvious...but some make it to sim without knowing the basics and there is only so much you can do. No scan, no basic IFR knowledge and your out. If the sim guys pass you...(they wont) you will be found out on IOE and then your out.

But someone said it earlier...study, co-operate and graduate! Hell, if I can pass....
