The written tests have always been a joke so no one should get taken out by those.
The oral and the rides are the things to worry about. Its been a while since the check airmen have seen "newbies" they have been used to doing checkrides with guys that have multiple years in seat so it may be an interesting transition.
I do have a few questions for the guys coming back though.
1. How long have most of you been out of TSA?
2. Have you guys/gals had flying jobs since you left?
Good luck. Systems wise not much has changed so you can look at your old books real quick and the powerpoint from class and get the stuff back in your head.
If you guys want you can PM me and I can try to answer a few questions...They have been flying the crap outta me cause we are super under staffed so it may be a while before I get back, but I will try to get back fast.
