Thanks a lot!
I don't know your background, but with AQP, they've moved beyond the old systems school mentality where they expected you to be able to "build" the airplane. You'll have part of indoc and all of your 100 series (which lasts 4 or 5 days -- I can't remember) to get it done. Believe it or not, that's plenty of time. My background is regional, and it was the easiest systems program I've been through.
Also, while you're going through your 100 series, you'll also have a few hours of systems class in the morning. The level of depth seems to depend on the airplane. I've been through 757/767 and MD88 training, and in my case the 757/767 systems class was more in depth than the MD88 training.
Regardless, don't sweat the systems stuff. Go through the CD and study the LOD and you'll do fine.
