You've been on property 4 months and this is your first airlines. Easy dispensing advice until you actually get some experience.

It’s pretty well known by now that pre-studying for airline ground school is not necessary or even recommended. It’s a slow, steady paced, 3 month long AQP training footprint….there is PLENTY of time to study & learn without much difficulty once on property. Just relax and enjoy life before you show up.

I came to Alaska with exactly Zero 121 time, as well as a few others in my class.

How does any of that indicate how long i’ve been here or my opinion of pre-studying for airline ground school?
Your advice also violates company policy by telling someone to gain company proprietary information before they are ‘officially’ hired and on property. Bad advice, as it could jeopardize their employment.

Which beings up another question. Recent classes; have they been going exclusively to one fleet type, or is there a mix within the class?

The flows are pretty easy in the Boeing there’s really nothing to difficult about the airplane. Getting familiar and used to a non-EICAS aircraft wasn’t even much of a hurdle. In terms of classes being awarded which fleet they’ll be it seems most of the time the entire class goes to one or the other but there has been split classes of each. If there’s a lot of vacancies out of LAX on the bus that might be where you’d be headed but that’s a guestimation at this point. Welcome to AS.
