I'd be more concerned with the people getting 100+ ioe hours. That's the scary one.

Last day of systems youll go to a hangar and do a walkaround and doors training then you go back home the next day. Time off between systems and CPT varies, i had 4 days. You get 5 days of CPT then 2 days off followed by 10 sims. 8 training, 1 LOFT, and the last sim is your checkride. Awac is my first 121 job as well, just study your a$$ off and youll be fine. If you need extra sims theyll give it to you, my partner got more than 16 sims to get it right

Ok great thanks for the information! Sounds like if you have a good attitude and try you should be fine then. I'm just kinda nervous and unsure what to expect. Are the test all multiple-choice or filling the blanks?

^Multiple choice.

The instructors are great. They will do all they can to help you out, even after class, and they are very cool to hang out with after class. All you need to bring with you is a good attitude.

No, I am not an instructor.

We got 3 in my day. While walking backwards uphill in the snow. With people throwing giant fish heads at us.

Clearly you didn't understand my comment. Congratulations on your training?? I guess they do hand out trophies to everyone who participates these days.
