Training is as hard as you make it out to be. Come prepared and study. Take it seriously and you'll do fine. Thousands of idiots- I mean pilots- have made it through airline training events (this idiot included). If we can do it, so can you.

If you haven't seen the "playing the game" article that was published in the ALPA mag a few years back, it's a good read for somebody starting their first airline gig.
