Don't worry, they will give you everything you need when you need it. Just knock out Cornerstone, it'll really help you focus on more important things later. Relax and enjoy your down time.

It's technically illegal to provide 121 training or materials to those who have not been properly screened per the TSA. For that reason it's best to get it from the airline. They will generally provide what you need, when you need it, but if in doubt you can always ask them.

Thanks!
I have friends in the 737, and they talked about study materials and things guys put together to study before you start class. I don’t know anyone in the Airbus.
I worded my question poorly. I wasn’t actually looking for the Alaska provided materials. I’m sure I will get what I need in class. I’ve just always tried to come to class as prepared as possible.
Thanks again!

If you really want to confuse yourself with generic airbus stuff, go to Airbusdriver.net but be warned, there is some stuff there you will have to unlearn and relearn the right way if you do.
As others have said, follow the syllabus as they give it to you and you will be fine.
I will give you one golden rule to store away for the sim sessions: Below 10K ft stay in selected speed until FAF inbound on the approach, then go managed speed. If you don't know what this means, file it away and forget about it until sim 1.
Welcome to the bus, confusion and wonder awaits!

Airbusdriver.net was set up by a legacy US pilot. Good site for years for Airways Pilots to get the gouge for training. The bus is different but straightforward. Just expect that anything they could do opposite to Boeing, they did..

Airbus, late to the game, had to develop designs which didn't infringe on anyone's patents...
